This is a good read for anyone who wants a readable presentation of the gospel stories blended into one narrative, or for a friend who is knew to Jesus altogether.

While the conversation naturally focuses on this most recent book, we also get to know David, his spiritual journey, and his thoughts about academic biblical study and its place in the Church at large. Hint: he's a fellow traveler. His passion for getting content to the person in the pew is transparent.

In Naked Bible Podcast Episode 155, Dr. Michael Heiser and Trey Stricklin welcome David Limbaugh, author of The True Jesus: Uncovering the Divinity of Christ in the Gospels. This insightful conversation centers on David's spiritual journey from skepticism to deep faith, and his passion for equipping laypeople with accessible yet substantive biblical knowledge. Heiser and Limbaugh discuss the importance of trusting Scripture as God's Word, the value of harmonizing the Gospels for new readers, and the cultural distortions of Jesus’ identity. Limbaugh shares his method for organizing Gospel content in narrative form and reflects on the challenges of writing for a popular audience without compromising theological depth.

The interview also delves into modern church culture, the risk of seeker-sensitive preaching that avoids core truths like sin and repentance, and the need to reawaken biblical curiosity among believers. With personal anecdotes, theological reflections, and editorial insights, this episode provides both inspiration and practical encouragement for anyone seeking to better understand and present the biblical Jesus.

Whether you're new to Bible study or looking for a compelling introduction to Gospel content, this episode—and Limbaugh’s book—offers a refreshing and faithful perspective.
