Not the Impossible Faith is a tour de force in that genre, dissecting and refuting the oft-repeated claim that Christianity could not have succeeded in the ancient world unless it was true. Though framed as a detailed rebuttal to Christian apologist J.P. Holding (author of The Impossible Faith), Carrier takes a general approach that educates the reader on the history and sociology of the ancient world, answering many questions like: How did Christians approach evidence? Was there a widespread prejudice against the testimony of women? Was resurrection such a radical idea? Who would worship a crucified criminal? And much more. Written with occasional humor and an easy style, and thoroughly referenced, with many entertaining \"gotcha!\" moments, Not the Impossible Faith is a must-read for anyone interested in the origins of Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46884151853207,"sku":"9780557044641","price":2375.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780557044641.webp?v=1770242138","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/not-the-impossible-faith-9780557044641","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
