Well researched rebuttals

MYTH BUSTED!
145 myths about Christianity debunked
By Jeffrey Burton Russell
Authentic Media. 361 pages. £9.99
ISBN 978 1 842 278 260

Written by a distinguished Professor of History, this is a remarkably accessible overview and answer to major objections to Christian faith.

By ‘myths’ the author really means the stereotypes or superficial one-liners that critics often deploy to dismiss Christianity. Each one is given a relatively brief but scholarly rebuttal. Russell’s myths include such wide ranging statements as: ‘Christianity is anti-scientific’, ‘Christianity supported black slavery’, ‘Little or nothing is known about Jesus’ and ‘Catholics invented the sign of the cross’.
