Hello G2s,

This is Pastor Carrie here. You know, as we near the Good Friday hols and Easter Celebrations, no doubt, you will hear stuff about Jesus and Christianity. The character of Jesus Christ looms large in the history of the world. Indeed, Jesus Christ has influenced more people and cultures than anyone else.

But the "new critics" and popular culture have distorted truths about the greatest man in history. Every now and then since a few years ago, there have been regular stuff churned out by those who are anti-Christian and their intention is really to distract people from who the historical and biblical Jesus is. Stuff like DaVinci Code, Compass, The Gospel of Thomas, Secret Gospels, Tombs discovered ...etc., constantly make use of popular culture and unbiblical and unscholarly material to distort truths about Jesus so as to discredit Christianity and its claims.

We really cannot remain aloof and ignorant in our own ivory towers but be aware and equipped to address some of these issues. Some helpful links for you to read up are:
