Key insights from
More Than a Carpenter
By Josh McDowell, Sean McDowell
What you'll learn
Amid ranks of reformers and revolutionaries, Jesus Christ stands distinct throughout history—his influence is matchless. Jesus stirred joy in the lepers and fear in the Pharisees, provoking a wide range of responses and impacting the trajectories of nations and individual human hearts. The words he professed, the lifestyle he lived, and the promises he embodies for those who believe him compel all people to take a step back to ponder the man set before them—a Savior who offers absolutely everything. Best-selling author Josh McDowell and his son, a professor at Biola University, Sean McDowell travail archaeological findings, accounts of ancient history, and the pages of the Bible to trace the reality of Jesus Christ and the truth of his transcendent life.
