A wholly original presentation of Jesus' good news message, logically laid out in everyday language, from the point of view of an engineer who is all too aware that in today's faith debates, opponents wield the stick of logic with devastating effectiveness. While showing evidence for clashes between popular biblical understanding and the biblical texts themselves, the author proposes that taking the texts at face value yields a coherent picture that should earn the intellectual assent (if not the belief) of the most hardened of skeptics.
