Searching for Jesus: In this exhaustively researched new life of Jesus, award-winning writer Robert J. Hutchinson argues that Jesus was not an "apocalyptic prophet" who thought the world was about to end. Jesus was not a "zealot" revolutionary who wanted to kill the Romans. Jesus was not a Greek Cynic philosopher. Jesus was not an orthodox rabbi who accidentally got himself killed by causing a disturbance in the Temple. Jesus was not a world-hating Gnostic. Jesus was not a delusional fanatic who tricked his followers into following him. Instead, Jesus was just as the Gospels describe him: a fiery, courageous, charismatic populist who drew crowds by the tens of thousands and electrified all of Palestine with his strange and exhilarating announcement of God's kingdom in their midst. Jesus reached out to the most wretched and despised people in society -- the demon-possessed, the deformed, those afflicted with horrible contagious diseases, prostitutes, even soldiers of an occupation army. Hutchinson shows that many of the negative ideas about Jesus paraded in the media every Christmas and Easter are increasingly obsolete. These obsolete portraits of Jesus, the author says, are based on assumptions, theories and unproven hypotheses that are more than a century old and that have been discredited by more recent research. Written for skeptics and believers alike, Searching for Jesus reveals how the Gospels are truer than many people have been led to believe. He asks the question: "What if everything the Gospels say about Jesus... his words, his deeds, his plans... actually turn out to be... true?"

Drawing upon the most recent discoveries and scholarship in archaeology and the first-century Near East, The Dawn of Christianity reveals how a beleaguered group of followers of a crucified rabbi became the founders of a world-changing faith.
How did Christianity truly come to be? Where did this worldwide faith come from? The Dawn of Christianity tells the story of how the first followers of Jesus survived the terror and despair of witnessing the one they knew to be the messiah—God’s agent for the salvation of the world—suddenly arrested, tried, and executed. Soon after Jesus’ death, his relatives and closest followers began hearing reports that Jesus was alive again—reports that even his most loyal disciples at first refused to believe. 
Using the most recent studies by top Christian and secular scholars, Robert Hutchinson, known for his popular books on Christianity and Biblical Studies, reconstructs all of the known accounts of these early resurrection appearances and follows the witnesses to the resurrection as they experience brutal persecution at the hands of zealots such as Saul of Tarsus and then become committed evangelists to the major population centers in Antioch, Damascus, Rome, and Athens—and ultimately across the world. A riveting thriller of the most improbable history-changing movement imaginable, The Dawn of Christianity brings to life the compelling story of the birth of Christianity.

The Bible remains the bestselling book of all time, believed by nearly two billion people (Christians and Jews) to be divinely inspired. But in this hard-hitting new book, author Robert J. Hutchinson argues that it is actually much more than this. The ideas enshrined in the Bible, he says, triggered a revolution in human thought and established the moral and philosophical foundation for Western civilization, from the recognition of basic human rights and belief in limited government to authentic feminism and the development of empirical science. He shows that it is more a "culture-war" book than a work of religious apologetics.

For more than a century, Bible scholars and university researchers have been systematically debunking what ordinary Christians believed about Jesus of Nazareth. But what if the most recent Biblical scholarship actually affirmed the New Testament? What if Jesus was not a Zealot revolutionary, or a Greek Cynic philosopher, or a proto-feminist Gnostic, but precisely what he claimed to be: the divine Son of Man prophesied in the Book of Daniel who gave his life as a ransom for many? What if everything the Gospels say about Jesus of Nazareth—his words, his deeds, his plans—turned out to be true? Searching for Jesus changes “what if?” to “what is,” debunking the debunkers and showing how the latest scholarship supports orthodox Christian belief.

In his hard-hitting new book, The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Bible, author Robert J. Hutchinson reveals how the Bible triggered a revolution in human thought and later established Western civilization's moral and philosophical foundation. He demonstrates how the ideas embedded in the ancient Biblical texts (such as the notion of inanimate matter guided by fixed laws) provided the intellectual basis for the development of empirical science... and argues that much-maligned Biblical laws actually paved the way for the development of democracy, limited government and the recognition of universal human rights. The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Bible shows that the enemies of the Bible are all-too-often, despite their claims to the contrary, the enemies of reason and tolerance.

Think You Know Everything about the Lincoln Assassination? Think Again. After 150 years, many unsolved mysteries and enduring urban legends still surround the assassination of Abraham Lincoln by the popular stage actor John Wilkes Booth. In a new look at the case, award-winning history author Robert J. Hutchinson (The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Bible)&nbsp;explores what we know, and don't know, about what really happened at Ford's Theatre on the night of April 14, 1865.&nbsp;In addition, he argues that the deep-seated political hatreds that roiled Washington, D.C., in the final weeks of the Civil War are particularly relevant to our own polarized age.&nbsp;Among the tantalizing questions Hutchinson explores are: * Did the Confederacy have a hand in the assassination plot? *&nbsp;Who were Booth's secret accomplices, and why did he change the plan from kidnapping to assassination? *&nbsp;Why was it so easy for Booth to walk into the president's box to shoot him? Where were the guards? *&nbsp;How did Booth evade the largest manhunt in U.S. history for nearly two weeks despite being unable to walk? *&nbsp;Who gave the order to shoot Booth in the Garrett barn--and what happened to his body? Drawing upon both primary sources and the best recent historical research, What Really Happened: The Lincoln Assassination&nbsp;separates established facts from mere conjectures--and is the one book to own if you want to know "what really happened."

Think You Know Everything about the death of Hitler? Think Again. After World War II, 50 percent of Americans polled said they didn't believe Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun had committed suicide in their bunker in 1945, as captured Nazi officials claimed.&nbsp;Instead, they believed the dictator faked his death and escaped, perhaps to Argentina.&nbsp; This wasn't a crazy opinion:&nbsp;Joseph Stalin told Allied leaders that Soviet forces never discovered Hitler's body and that he personally believed the Nazi leader had escaped justice.&nbsp;&nbsp;At least two German submarines crossed the Atlantic and landed on the coast of Argentina in July 1945.&nbsp;&nbsp;Plus, there were numerous reports of top Nazi officials successfully fleeing to South America where there was a large German colony.&nbsp;&nbsp; Incredible as it sounds, the mystery surrounding Adolf Hitler's final days only deepened in 2009 when a U.S. forensic team announced that a piece of Hitler's skull held in Soviet archives was not actually Hitler's. International interest increased further in 2014 when the FBI released previously classified files detailing investigations surrounding Hitler's possible escape.&nbsp;And the following year, The History Channel launched a three-year reality TV series investigating if it was possible Hitler did somehow survive. So what really happened? Popular history writer Robert J. Hutchinson, author of&nbsp;What Really Happened: The Lincoln Assassination, takes a fresh look at the evidence and discovers, once and for all, the truth about Hitler's last week in Berlin. Among the questions the book explores are... *&nbsp;&nbsp;What did surviving Nazi eyewitnesses&nbsp;really&nbsp;say about the Führer's final days in the bunker--and could they have been lying to aid Hitler's escape? *&nbsp;&nbsp;If Hitler didn't escape, why did the Allies not find his body? *&nbsp;&nbsp;What about Hitler's proven use of body doubles?&nbsp;Could Hitler have used a body double in the bunker while he and Eva Braun flew to safety in a long-range aircraft that took off from a runway in Berlin's Tiergarten? *&nbsp;&nbsp;Why did the FBI continue to investigate reports of Hitler's survival for more than a decade after World War II--reports that were only declassified in 2014? *&nbsp;&nbsp;What about sensational claims in books such as&nbsp;The Grey Wolfthat Hitler and Eva Braun lived in an isolated chalet in the Andes - and that Hitler died in 1962? *&nbsp;&nbsp;Why were forensic tests on crucial physical evidence only conducted in 2016, more than 70 years after World War II ended? *&nbsp;&nbsp;And lots MORE.
