The acclaimed author of From Jesus to Christianity reveals how—and why—the gospels were written in this groundbreaking work of Biblical scholarship.

White challenges us to read the gospels as they were intended—as performed stories of faith, not factual accounts—and illuminates the agendas that motivated each of their authors. A fresh account of the gospels that have shaped centuries of Christian belief, Scripting Jesus offers important insight into how we can understand Jesus’s story today.

The rate that AI is growing is perhaps too fast to understand. The last 40 years have seen a few false starts but, in the last decade, we've seen huge advances in the processing power of computers and in data storage. All of a sudden, the game has changed in a big way. These days, much of the technology we depend on and rely on daily is powered by AI. Take Google Translate, for example; next time you see something in another language, point your phone camera at it and Google Translate will translate it for you - instantly. AI is also being used to design treatment plans (evidence-based) for cancer sufferers, analyzing medical results instantly so a patient is sent to the right specialist quickly, and helping in research for drug recovery. In this guide, we will be exploring machine learning, the concepts that run these technologies and by the time you get to the end you will have more knowledge than many and will be equipped to start building your own applications.
