Who is Jesus—and why would a loving God allow him to die on a cross for you and me? Why Jesus? invites readers to explore that question with clarity, respect, and an open heart. Rather than arguing religion, the book follows the story the Bible itself tells—the story of humanity…

Preface: This topic is important because every timeline taught in modern seminaries and found in popular study Bibles is based on an incorrect secular Assyrian chronology that anchors all Ancient Near Eastern (ANE) timelines.

“What is truth?” Pontius Pilate asked Jesus that question, probably indicating that he thought truth was unknowable (John 18:38). That same question—but with the conviction that absolute truth can be known—directs this website. It is grounded in the authority of the Bible as the ultimate source of spiritual truth, while…
