JESUS SKEPTIC BOOK REVIEWS & ENDORSEMENTS
“Only John Dickerson could so artfully weave history, politics, pop culture, and personal stories in a way that is both educational and entertaining. As a devout agnostic, I thoroughly enjoyed learning about a different perspective—presented in a thoughtful, engaging and enlightening way.”
“Jesus Skeptic is a different kind of book. It examines the positive, social impact of those who believe in Jesus. That impact is widespread, far greater than most people realize. Moving from one area to another, Dickerson documents that influence and then looks deeper into what and who is behind it. This is a fascinating read that may just surprise you.”
“A first rate journalist and writer, Dickerson writes with empathy, preferring to explain rather than scold. He’s written an illustrious book. I am a believer in John’s ability to hold readers in his thrall, to tell simple, uplifting human stories, to share his eloquent hopes.”
“More than ever we need an articulate and detailed study of the importance and impact of the Christian faith that is not charged with emotions but is loaded with evidence. I am pleased to recommend John’s work to you, knowing that it will surprise you and draw you into the greater narrative of God’s unfolding mission within history. If you are a skeptic, this book is especially for you, and John’s arguments and research will intrigue you and invite you further into dialogue with history’s most significant person, Jesus.”
“Few writers can gather, process, distill and apply a host of facts with the precision of John S. Dickerson.”
“My hometown of Portland Oregon is filled with wonderful people, especially Millennials, who gravely misunderstand who Jesus is and have little understanding of the ways His followers are making our city and the world a better place. My friend John S. Dickerson has written a much needed book to help alleviate that! The story of the Church, of the community of people filled by the Spirit of Jesus for more than 2000 years, is a story of radical love and justice that has shaped education & healthcare, scientific enquiry, abolished slavery, and led the way in protecting human rights. Understanding this impact can encourage wavering believers, and soften the hearts of many skeptics.”
“My good friend John S. Dickerson has unearthed his biggest story ever as an investigative reporter. Jesus Skeptic is an eye-opening and desperately needed resource in a world of revisionist history. Honest skeptics as well as parents and pastors will find facts—not opinions—to answer their most challenging questions about Jesus’s life, teaching, and impact in history. I highly recommend this book.”
“As with his other work, Dickerson’s words are extremely insightful and relevant.”
“This generation isn’t simply asking, “Is Christianity true?” They want to know, “Is Christianity good?” Does the faith actually promote human rights, alleviate suffering, and enable humanity to flourish? In Jesus Skeptic, John Dickerson provides a compelling answer to this pressing question. He leads readers on a lively tour through the ancient world, demonstrating Christianity’s positive impact at key moments in history. This book is a remarkable accomplishment. It’s sweeping in scope, yet deeply personal. Dickerson, a reporter and pastor, reveals Christianity’s impact on history—then zooms in to explore what Christ means for each person. The evidence he offers will enlighten believers and non-believers alike. In the Introduction, he writes that skeptics “are safe here.” That’s true—but their skepticism is definitely in danger.”
