Christian Thinkers Society, What if the stories of Jesus are more than sacred memory? What if we could point to tangible, verifiable, datable evidence that brings us face-to-face with Jesus — not only in Scripture, but in history? That’s why I wrote The Jesus Discoveries (see https://a.co/d/067FRaq8 for details).
We are living in an age of skepticism. Yet uniquely in our time, we also have unprecedented access to archaeological discoveries, ancient manuscripts, inscriptions, ossuaries, and even forensic science that converge with the Gospel accounts.Stones are still speaking.
Here are five reasons I would ask you to prayerfully consider pre-ordering this book (releasing in just two weeks - March 10):
1. Because Christianity Is Rooted in Real History. Our faith does not float in myth or abstraction. Jesus lived at a specific time, in a real place, under Pontius Pilate, amid documented political and cultural realities. Roughly 80–90% of external historical sources referencing New Testament people and places align seamlessly with Scripture. The sacred and the secular meet in Jesus.
2. Because the Shroud of Turin Demands a Verdict I was once a skeptic of the Shroud. After years of study, peer-reviewed research, interviews with physicists, chemists, and mathematicians — and standing in Turin myself — I came to a startling conclusion: The cumulative probability that the Man of the Shroud is anyone other than Jesus of Nazareth approaches zero.
The resurrection was not a whisper in a garden.
It was a supernatural eruption that left evidence.
The Shroud is not a death cloth. It is a resurrection cloth.
3. Because Even Jesus’ Enemies Confirmed His Power
Ancient “magical” texts, incantation bowls, curse tablets, and papyri invoke the name of Jesus — not in worship, but in attempted imitation.
Why?
Because even His opponents could not deny His power as a healer and exorcist. They tried to reframe it.
They could not refute it.
4. Because Archaeology Names Jesus Directly
This book explores:
• The James Ossuary
• The Pontius Pilate inscription
• The “King of the Jews” titulus
• The Magdalen Papyrus
• The Palatine Graffito
• Josephus’ historical testimony
• The Dead Sea Scrolls
These are not legends.
These are artifacts.
The book is full of pictures so you can identify these discoveries use them in your personal Bible studies.
Each discovery brings us closer to the historical Jesus.
5. Because Your Faith Should Be Informed, Not Blind
I am a Biblicist. If you prick me, I bleed Scripture. But in an age of scientific inquiry and skepticism, believers must be equipped.
This book will help you:
• Engage skeptics intelligently
• Strengthen your confidence in Scripture
• Understand apologetics clearly
• See Jesus not only as Savior — but as the intellectual He is
Jesus is not a theological idea divorced from history.
He is Lord.
And the record bears that out.
So, this book is deeply personal to me. It is dedicated to my son Abel — because before it was ever a manuscript, it was a prayer.
My prayer is that this work helps millions see that the historical Jesus is the risen Lord. We are not asking people to take a leap into the dark. We are inviting them to step into the light of evidence.
Order your copy of The Jesus Discoveries today — and let’s bring a skeptical world face-to-face with Jesus. Here is the link to Pre-order: https://a.co/d/067FRaq8
Jesus Christ is risen indeed.
