All that said, while Crossan's reasons for writing seem clear to simultaneously deepen genuine faith and challenge faith built on false premises, it is less clear just who his intended audience is. His reasons for writing and the book's content seem to suggest that he is writing for the benefit of Christians who accept the Bible as both absolute historical truth and the unquestioned word of God. In other words, he seems to be advocating a considered, thoughtful faith, rather than a blind unquestioning one. The question then becomes whether such an audience would even pick the book up, let alone read it.
