In this second volume, theologian David Friedrich Strauss continues his radical deconstruction of the Jesus story. Sifting the Gospels with ruthless logic, he unmasks the miracles as myths, the resurrection as fabrication. Stripping away centuries of dogma, Strauss reveals a human Jesus - flawed, contradictory, all too mortal. As his conclusions ripple through the churches, they threaten to upend the very bedrock of Christian belief. In the face of this intellectual storm, followers must confront their most cherished convictions.
