This radical book reveals the real, historical Jesus - and reminds us what he  actually said

Who was Jesus Christ?  Was he God in human form?  Was he t he divine Son of God, conceived by a virgin, who came down to earth to found the one true religion?  This is what the Church has been preaching since the Middle Ages, but the Church's portrait is a far cry from the Jesus Christ described in the New Testament.

   For Christ's Sake  is Tom Harpur's classic study of what the Bible actually tells us about Jesus. Controversial and radical, in that i t goes to the roots of what is known, Harpur's book strips away the mythology about Jesus to reveal a man whose message is still fresh and relevant today.

   "If Harpur's  research and reasoning was the stuff of which sermons were made and honestly presented from the pulpit, churches wouldn't be empty."
                                                                                              -Roy Bonisteel,  Toronto Star

"For Christ's Sake.... has breached the dam of dogma and officially sanctioned  superstition that for many Christians blocks the waters of Jesus' original teachings."
                                                                                               -Maclean's

                                "A wonderful book, extremely positive."
                                                                                               - Dr. Harvey Cox,  Harvard  U.
"For Christ's Sake is Harpur at his finest.  It is articulate and hard-hitting....a timely and important challenge for the Church in this increasingly secularized world."
