More Than a Carpenter is a work written by Josh McDowell—one of the most well-known defenders of the Christian faith—based on his personal experience and historical research. In this book, he recounts his journey from disbelief and skepticism to a living faith, showing that there are strong historical, rational, and moral reasons to believe in Christ. By carefully examining historical sources about the life and resurrection of Jesus, McDowell argues that He truly was who He claimed to be: the Son of God. Written in a clear and straightforward style, this book is accessible and impactful for all readers—from skeptical students to thoughtful believers. McDowell ultimately calls readers to make a personal choice: to accept Christ for who He is or to reject Him, since one cannot remain neutral in the face of His truth. More Than a Carpenter remains one of the most widely read and influential Christian apologetic books in the world, with millions of copies in print.
