Crucified in the media : finding the real Jesus amidst today's headlines

Resumen:
"The Son of God hits the headlines again-2,000 years since he last set foot on earth!" This isn't a phony heading on a tabloid magazine, it's the truth. Between Mel Gibson's 'The Passion of the Christ', Dan Brown's 'The Da Vinci Code', and Elaine Pagels's 'Beyond Belief', the media's depictions of Jesus are extensive but varied. Because contradictions are plentiful, people everywhere are filled with questions. Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Was he married? Is he really the only way to God? 'Crucified in the Media' examines these modern interpretations as well as archaeological finds such as the Shroud of Turin and the James ossuary, and calls readers back to the historic Christ of the church. Whether you're a reader who wonders about the media's contradictions surrounding Jesus or a ministry leader who seeks to correct the misinformation that is so widely portrayed by our culture, Crucified in the Media will help you discern fact from fiction and help you defend more historically accurate portrayals of Jesus.
