I choose to read “The Jesus Inquest: The Case For and Against The Resurrection of The Christ” by Charles Foster, more out of curiosity than liking. I wanted to hear what Mr. Foster had to opine on one of the most gripping and spiritual questions to have puzzled humanity through generations. More so because he had already taken the stand to stay neutral and plead both cases- for and against. The book covers a wide range of well known topics like the death and burial of the Christ, His resurrection, etc and presents them all with arguments for and against. Each argument is also accompanied by evidences from literary sources both Christian and Non- Christian. Mr. Foster has pleaded a wonderful case without heavily tilting on neither side.
“The Jesus Inquest” is not a light read and one must be prepared to spare quite a lot of time, if one is to grasp the arguments. An excellent book for both the believers and non believers.
