{"product_id":"not-the-impossible-faith-richard-carrier-9780557044641","title":"Not the Impossible Faith","description":"Dr. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Carrier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0557044642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780557044641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.02d","brand":"Richard Carrier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946780557567,"sku":"9780557044641","price":28.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5cbd1890-ad54-4a58-b6fc-faae5cfc13f6.jpg?v=1681515105","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/not-the-impossible-faith-richard-carrier-9780557044641","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
