Shocked by the Bible: The Most Astonishing Facts You've Never Been Told
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
Joe Kovacs challenges common beliefs about the Bible by checking popular claims against the text itself. Many readers assume certain details of the Easter and Christmas stories come straight from Scripture, but the author argues that the text says otherwise. He points out that the Bible never names the day of Jesus' crucifixion as Friday, and that its account of the resurrection does not specify Sunday morning. He also notes that the magi are not placed at the manger; they encounter Jesus later as a young child in a house. Kovacs asks readers to open their own copies and compare what they find with what they were taught. Written for believers and skeptics alike, the book aims to separate scriptural record from tradition and misunderstanding.
