It will take you on a quest to uncover the obscure Jesus of history, challenge you to think about Christianity as a historical religion, and offer you a multitude of reasons to believe in the Christian faith. These pages -- written by Vittorio Messori, a secular journalist who converted in adulthood from agnosticism -- in fact rely purely on the evidence of facts and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaised in an atmosphere of rationalism, Messori shares the deeply personal and transformative experience he had one summer when facing life's ultimate questions. His view on politics, society, and religion changed forever when he encountered the Jesus of the Gospels. This moved him to conduct a historical examination of the roots of Christianity and evaluate the truth of the Gospel, always in the light of faith and reason. This is what you are about to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMessori adopts a compelling journalistic approach, drawing from Blaise Pascal and an array of philosophers, historians, and theologians.
