This is one of those key questions of faith that we will have to trust we have found the answers to. The authors do a fine job of studying this provocative subject with real panache.

The author thoroughly showed different mental health diagnosis and related them to Jesus. He showed clearly that Jesus wasn't mentally unbalanced but rational and clear about who He was and what He was about.

This is such a fascinating read and would add depth to any a-level student continuing on with RE. Not only does this book stand as a challenge to Dawkins’ God Delusion, it explores the mental health of Jesus and its impact upon His authority as the son of God and as a man.

It’s clear and very much in pupil friendly speak and perfectly illustrates that the units we study do not exist in isolation.

This book, written by two psychologists, addresses the question of whether Jesus was God or crazy. It's a question that comes up time and time again, but has not been examined in depth before.

With their deep knowledge of madness in all its different forms they look at the evidence, the gospels, to see if Jesus showed evidence of any of these disorders.

Although I wish they were better writers, it's a very welcome book.
