The gospel according to me Giuseppe Riccardo Festa

Most people in the western world are Christian by force of inertia, and do not get documented about the sources of their religion: they are just happy with what they are told during liturgies. Very few wonder whether what they absent-mindedly think they believe is really reliable and credible. This book deals with this problem through an examination of the historical reliability of events told by the gospels and of the coherence of gospels with each other and with other parts of texts the Roman Catholic Church calls "sacred". Furthermore, in the light of the development of sciences which the Roman Catholic Church does not take into consideration, the book also criticizes the historiographical approach to the evangelic narration of Catholic exegetes, and in particular of Vittorio Messori.
