Rebecca McLaughlin: Confronting Jesus

Confronting Jesus
Crossway, 2022
By Rebecca McLaughlin

WHO: Rebecca McLaughlin, an author who served for nine years as vice president of content for The Veritas Forum. In 2017, she co-founded Vocable Communications.

SHE SAYS: “Jesus chose the cross so that the curtain could be torn and we could live eternally with him.”

THE BIG IDEA: This apologetics book looks at Jesus through eyewitness testimony to show that the Gospels should be taken seriously as historical documents.

THE PROGRESSION: Each of the nine chapters explores one aspect of Jesus’ identity. 

“If Jesus is the resurrected Lord, we can’t go on with life as usual. The truth will turn our lives completely upside down.”
