Banned Questions about Jesus - by Christian Piatt (Paperback)

About the Book

Real questions, real responses. Examine questions and answers about Jesus that many of us were afraid to ask. Some of the questions discussed in this book include: Why did Jesus have to suffer so much before he died? Or did he have to? What happened during the "missing years" of Jesus' life unaccounted for in the Bible? Does it really matter if Jesus was born to a virgin or not? What if Mary wasnt a virgin, or if Joseph (or someone else) was the father? The Bible says that Jesus had siblings. Does that mean that there are people alive today who are from his familys bloodline? Where are they? Who are they?
