Summary

The author believes that over the past 40 years movements like New Age spirituality and society's obsession with human potential have combined like a "perfect storm" to redefine for popular culture what has been for centuries the classic biblical definition of the person, work, and teaching of Jesus Christ.

In Why Jesus?, Ravi Zacharias looks at the impact of this "storm" by discussing the 60s-70s "Age of Aquarius," actor Shirley MacLaine's book and TV series Out on a Limb, author James Redfield (The Celestine Prophecy), Rhonda Byrne (The Secret), Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code), and other books by Eckart Tolle, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, the Dali Lama, and Marianne Williamson. Special attention will be given to the influence of Oprah Winfrey's media platform in reshaping society by introducing and promoting certain books and authors.

Major new age and human potential tenets will be discussed like: the belief that we are all gods and have to discover our divinity; Jesus was only a good teacher; Christianity is but one among many ways to eternal life; reincarnation is real; Jesus was married; truth is relative; there is no sin; and perfection is possible.

The truth of and the arguments for the bodily resurrection of Jesus will be presented as the most important argument for the exclusive claims about Jesus and Christianity.

TRUTH as bare as the sun.

When a masterful insight brings out truth and laids it bare you can be thankful

Powerful arguments that cut through to the heart

Where does Why Jesus? rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best book, apart from "The word of promise" Bible.

Who was your favorite character and why?

N/A

What about Ravi Zacharias’s performance did you like?

Excellent

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

The truth

Any additional comments?

Ravi's usual humerus character cuts through all faiths to argue that Christianity is the true faith that can only answer properly the truth questions of life.

didn't say much

Lots of words but not much content. Recent news about the author spoiled it as well.
