Text Box: 1. Distorted Images of Christ.
The dreadful double standard.
How to play ìthe Jesus Gameî

2. Dan Brown and The Da Vinci Code
A positive critique ñ quite brief.
The negative critique ñ This will take the rest of the hour merely to index the errors, misinterpretations, deceptions, distortions, and outright falsehoods.
ìChill out, Maier! Itís fiction, isnít it?î

3. The Media
Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report and how they cover Christianity.
Ditto for NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX and Co.
But a change is possible.
Christians can also misuse the media: Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, the Left Behind series, Jack Van Impe and others offer Christian Zionism and faulty eschatology.

4. The Paradox
Just when the attacks on Jesus are most sensational and gratuitous, his true image is becoming clearer than ever before, thanks to....
Two thousand years of dedicated scholarship.
Three champions for Christianity:
geography, archaeology, and history.

5. Fresh Findings
On the Nativity
The Galilean ministry
ìThe Week That Changed the Worldî
The Resurrection Revisited
With all world religions claiming to teach the truth, what makes Christianity any different?

Christ or Caricature?
