About this listen
The modern world portrays Jesus in many ways for many reasons. Some are well-intentioned but misguided, others are aberrations, and still others have some but not all the essential keys. In order to see and understand the real Jesus and what the Gospels say about him, we have to see him in his first-century context - and work out from there.
Here is a portrait of Jesus that in some ways will affirm what traditional Christianity has always understood about him...and, in other ways, upend it altogether.
Award-winning author Mark Clark delves into the person and work of Jesus of Nazareth: his parables and miracles, his controversial challenge of discipleship and obedience, his seemingly insane claim to be God, and what his death and resurrection (if they did happen) actually mean.
Mark is unafraid to tackle questions such as:
- What would first-century Jews have immediately recognized about Jesus that modern Christians often miss?
- What do the Gospels accomplish, and can we trust them?
- Is there a problem with science and Jesus' miracles?
- What are the barriers stopping people from following him?
- And what is Christianity in light of an accurate portrayal of the object of its faith?
The Problem of Jesus engages with ideas from all realms of study: from Malcolm Gladwell and Jordan Peterson to historians, scientists, and philosophers; from N.T. Wright to C.S. Lewis; from Star Wars to Pretty Woman - all unite to form a breathtaking and accurate portrait of Jesus, the man, the message, and the mission, who forever altered the course of human history.

Story
We are at war. Not with a foreign government or domestic terrorists or a creepy new artificial intelligence hell-bent on taking over the world. No, it’s a war we feel deep inside our own chests: we are at war with lies. The problem isn’t so much that we tell lies but that we live them. We let them into our bodies, and they sabotage our peace.

What the critics say
"As a former atheist, I would call this book philosophical dynamite ... The Problem of Jesus will take your thinking about Jesus - and your relationship with him - to whole new levels." (Ray Johnston, pastor and author)

Crystal Clear
The Christian world can seem like a vast cave system of echoes and ideology. Mark Clark shines light on valuable sources, teachers, and justifications that have shaped his paradigm and faith. This man is fully equipped to navigate systems of reason and lead anyone into a journey to create similar structures in their lives.
If you know him and track his preaching you’ve already heard %25 of this book. For anyone exploring faith or looking to make their faith their own, this book outlines numerous points for you to research, rationalize, and integrate. It is clear which camp of Christianity Mark resides in. Whether or not you agree with all his words or some of his polarizing perspectives this is an excellent scope into fundamental concepts to contend with. As I’m sure Mark would say “faith should be polarizing”. I recommend the read.

LOVED IT!!!
As a Christian I find it hard to find a book that I agree with everything theologically. So many people twist what the Bible has to say, but Mark Clark uses so much scripture he is very biblically sound. I would recommend this book to all Christians and people still searching. Thanks for the awesome book Mark.
