"Who do you say that I am?"

Uttered by Jesus Christ, this profound question has presented an age-old challenge to believers, skeptics, scholars, and rulers.

In attempting to answer this question, The True Jesus goes straight to the unimpeachable source: the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Only in the Gospels, says #1 New York Times bestselling author David Limbaugh, do we come face-to-face with the Son of God, Whose sublime teachings, miraculous actions, and divine essence leap off every page and into our hearts.

In this book, Limbaugh combines the four Gospel stories into a unified account (though not, he humbly admits, a perfect harmony) and guides readers on a faith journey through the Four Evangelists' testimonies of the life of Jesus Christ. Along the way, Limbaugh shares his insights on Jesus' words and deeds as well as His unique nature as fully human and fully divine. In The True Jesus, you will learn:

- Why even the apostles failed to completely understand Jesus' true identity and mission until after His crucifixion
- The real basis for the rejection of Jesus' message by skeptics in His hometown and elsewhere
- The historical events preceding Jesus' birth that providentially paved the way for Christianity
- How Jesus' message utterly contradicted modern attempts to portray Him as being non-judgmental

Limbaugh's passion for the Gospels infuses the pages of The True Jesus, which is both a primer for new Bible readers and an outstanding guide to the Gospels for long-time believers. Who really is the true Jesus? Open this book and begin your odyssey toward the answer.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"David Limbaugh's The True Jesus is a worthy successor to his bestselling book The Emmaus Code. The latter exposed a generation to how the Old Testament reveals Christ. Now The True Jesus directs attention to the Jesus of the Gospels, in His full humanity and deity. Limbaugh's presentation is tactical, yet forthright. He carefully blends the four portraits of Jesus in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John into a single streamlined, coherent narrative, free from academic distraction and jargon. The result is that the Gospels are allowed to speak for themselves. If you've wondered whether media portrayals of Jesus are dishonest, or found reading four seemingly disparate versions of the life of Jesus a little bewildering, or if you know nothing about Jesus at all, The True Jesus is precisely what you need."
--Dr. Michael S. Heiser, Scholar-in-Residence, Faithlife / Logos Bible Software, author of The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible, and host of the Naked Bible Podcast "In The True Jesus, the Son of God of the Gospels truly comes alive for readers. This is the Case for Christ from the life of Jesus Himself--and Limbaugh tells it in a way that will inspire you to read and study the Gospels like never before."
--Lee Strobel, bestselling author of The Case for Christ and The Case for Faith "How could an ancient carpenter from the tiny town of Nazareth be the most influential human being to ever walk the earth? Who was Jesus and how does His life affect yours? Like a captivating tour guide, David Limbaugh leads you through the brilliant and sacrificial life of Jesus of Nazareth and inspires you to connect your life with the Savior--the true Jesus. There are few books better about life's most important topic!" --Frank Turek, founder and president of www.CrossExamined.org
"David Limbaugh strikes again. The True Jesus is a brilliant, must-read book on the real Jesus of Scripture destined to be another bestseller. If you have faith, it will deepen it; if you don't, you just might change your mind after reading it." --Sean Hannity, host of The Sean Hannity Show and Fox News Channel's Hannity

A Must-Have Book!!
5 Stars
A Must-Have Book!!
This book is filled with so much useful information that can be used for teaching, preaching, etc. It seemed like I bookmarked every other page on this book. I especially like the quote on Chapter 12 by D.G. Barnhouse which reads “The angel rolled away the stone from Jesus’ tomb, not to let the living Lord out but to let the unconvinced outsiders in.” Yes indeed, the tomb is empty, the Savior LIVES!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written and compelling book
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2017

“The True Jesus” is the type of book that I wish I had had access to during the years when I was seeking answers. It provides a clear, concise and historical view of the Gospels and the divinity of Jesus Christ. David Limbaugh has combined the four books of the Gospels into a single narrative to tell the life and ministry of Jesus. The book flows well though the notes and quotes, while backing up the next, do break the flow from time to time.

I appreciate that Mr. Limbaugh has included the history of Israel during the period between the end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New Testament (the intertestamental period) and that of the years of the early Church. I have studied the Bible over the years but have never focused on the period which is not covered in it nor of the beginnings of the Church itself. Mr. Limbaugh's history of these periods are informative, interesting, and helped explain the social and historical context of the time in which Jesus was born, ministered, died and was resurrected as well as the time in which the Church began and grew.

For me, reading has always been how I seek information and books which answer my questions are ones that I appreciate the most. “The True Jesus” is just the type of book that I will want to keep on hand and provide to others who are asking and seeking answers. My personal copy is on a Kindle as I appreciate being able to change the font size and to add audible narration to it; however, I like to purchase and gift hardcover and paperback books to others.

I have not read Mr. Limbaugh's other books but I will certainly be seeking them out. I'm reminded so much of Lee Strobel's “The Case for Christ”, not that these books are duplicative in nature but rather they are similar in subject and in the clear cut and modern voice in which they are written. It doesn't take a theological background in order to read and understand this book. It takes an open mind and a seeking heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Inspired and Moving Book
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2020

Excellent, truly excellent!
We hear of preachers, teachers, and evangelists, and the common view is that these are three separate callings. What struck me over and over again as I listened to this book is that David Limbaugh is surely an example that one person can be called to play all three roles at the same time. No matter where you are in your spiritual journey this book will lead you to a higher level. No matter how much or how little you know already about the gospels, and no matter what your level of spiritual connection, I guarantee you will be very deeply moved in both an intellectual and an emotional way at the same time by this book. I can hardly wait to review more of the author's books.
I especially recommend the audio-book version. The content comes across with extra punch in the oral format, and unlike many audio-books, this narrator does an excellent job.
Please! Whether you are a believer already or merely curious about Christianity, try this book.

Fantastic read! What can I say?
This is the perfect read for those who desire a multitude of perspectives on the New Testament such as: Social and political environments, chronology of Jesus' ministry, and that which is on the mind of both Christ and the "characters" within the New Testament.
This is a perfect companion for any study Bible, especially when used when exploring James Ussher's "Annals of the World."
Hear me! David Limbaugh's books have inspired me to read the Bible in its entirety. The verses referenced invite, if not insist, the reader to look them up to ensure their proper use as sources.
This book will indeed fascinate not only the skeptic but also the believer, causing one to possess a great desire (addiction, in my case) to know as much about God's word as can be known.
Get this book! You will be satisfied!

4.0 out of 5 stars The True Jesus is aptly titled
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2017

The meat of this book is essentially a chronological overview of the life of Jesus based on the New Testament gospels. The book presents this material by "harmonizing" the accounts of the four gospels. For example, an event which is described in three of the gospels would be presented together in one section. The author would then try to break down what's really going on and also bring in the views of others.

What I liked:
1. Theologically rock solid.
2. The author is extremely even handed and careful in his interpretations.
3. The other scholars, writers, and pastors he cites (as far as I'm familiar) are all highly respected.
4. He treats all scholarly viewpoints with great respect.
5. Although the book appears to be primarily from an evangelical perspective - he even cites Catholic and Lutheran opinion.
6. The structure of going chronologically vignette to vignette.

Where it could use improvement:
1. I felt some sections did not have enough actual bible text quoted - forcing the reader to reach for his bible (if they have one).
2. I felt sometimes the author would go down rabbit trails discussing various theological positions (although in general this is a strength)
3. The book is described as 256 pages - it's really 353 or about 450 total with notes etc. Could this be too much for the casual seeker?

To summarize, I enjoyed this book and author helped me to see some things more clearly. I would definitely recommend this book, however, I'm not sure if it's the first book I'd offer to the casual seeker. For those really trying to understand Jesus from a true theological perspective, this book definitely succeeds.

David Limbaugh is not a theologian, but his book about the divinity of Jesus Christ could be used as a seminary text book. He makes scholarly arguments that are understandable to the common reader.
