{"product_id":"not-the-impossible-faith","title":"Not the Impossible Faith","description":"\u003cp\u003eDr. Richard Carrier is an expert in the history of the ancient world and a critic of Christian attempts to distort history in defense of their faith. Not the Impossible Faith is a tour de force in that genre, dissecting and refuting the oft-repeated claim that Christianity could not have succeeded in the ancient world unless it was true. Though framed as a detailed rebuttal to Christian apologist J.P. Holding (author of The Impossible Faith), Carrier takes a general approach that educates the reader on the history and sociology of the ancient world, answering many questions like: How did Christians approach evidence? Was there a widespread prejudice against the testimony of women? Was resurrection such a radical idea? Who would worship a crucified criminal? And much more. Written with occasional humor and an easy style, and thoroughly referenced, with many entertaining \"gotcha!\" moments, Not the Impossible Faith is a must-read for anyone interested in the origins of Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44234331586721,"sku":"9780557044641","price":47.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/1v8k7nn5-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1713727972","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/not-the-impossible-faith","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
