Hostile Witnesses: Historic Evidence of Jesus From Non-Christian Sources - Paperback
by Curtis Grant Parker (Author)
If you ask people about the existence of Christ, they usually fall into one of three camps: the faithful who sing his praises, the atheists who consider him a mythological creation, and the skeptics who fall somewhere in between.
But regardless of your personal feelings about Jesus of Nazareth, little doubt remains that he was a real person who once walked this earth. A wealth of historical accounts exist to assure us of this-with many of the most compelling coming from nonbelievers themselves.
Hostile Witnesses is an examination of the best historical evidence for Christ's existence, particularly the evidence provided to us by the most unexpected of sources. From the pagans of ancient Rome, to Jewish and Muslim writings, these accounts create a solid fact-based history of Jesus's life on earth...one that believers and nonbelievers will find equally compelling.
Whether you are established in your beliefs or just now embarking on a journey of faith, join author Curtis Grant Parker as he reveals the truth about the historical Jesus-and discover the opportunity to make your own decisions about his status as Lord God and Savior.
Curtis Grant Parker was born in St. Petersburg, Florida, in 1945 and raised in suburban St. Louis, where his favorite activities included reading, playing sports, and helping raise his younger siblings. Despite growing up in a loving Christian home, Parker put his faith into a "deep freeze" and began a two-decade separation from God after earning a degree in English at the University of Missouri in St. Louis.
During this dark time in his life, he began his professional career-first working as an English teacher, then in an advertising agency, before eventually beginning his own medical marketing company.
In the late 1980s, Parker finally rediscovered his Christian faith thanks to his wife Deborah. In addition to teaching Sunday school for twenty years, he also helped form a men's Bible study group and went on a mission to Ghana, West Africa, in 2009.
He currently lives in Wildwood, Missouri, with his wife. He is the father of three grown daughters.
