Can we know if Jesus actually lived? How has one figure influenced our world so dramatically? A respected journalist set out to find the answers--not from opinion but from artifacts. The evidence led him to an unexpected conclusion.

A first-of-its-kind book for a new generation, Jesus Skeptic takes nothing for granted as it explores whether Jesus actually lived and how his story has changed our world. In these pages we'll explore how Christianity has impacted and shaped our culture, including how followers of Jesus helped to abolish slavery, establish public education, found modern hospitals, support women's rights, drive racial reconciliation, and fight for justice and progress in a multitude of arenas. In a generation that wants to make the world a better place, we can discover what humanity's greatest champions had in common: a Christian faith.

"Jesus Skeptic is a different kind of book. It examines the positive social impact of those who believe in Jesus. That impact is widespread and far greater than most people realize. This is a fascinating read that may just surprise you." --Dr. Darrell L. Bock, New York Times bestselling author and senior research professor of New Testament studies at Dallas Theological Seminary

"This generation isn't simply asking, 'Is Christianity true?' They want to know, 'Is Christianity good?' In Jesus Skeptic, John Dickerson provides a compelling answer to these pressing questions."--Drew Dyck, contributing editor at CTPastors.com and author of Your Future Self Will Thank You
