Book Description
Jesus: The Celestial Man is a book about the Fourth Gospel of the New Testament, the Gospel of John. The subtitle describes its two-fold purpose. "Time" refers to the historical context and the meaning of words for those who wrote them and originally heard them. "Space" is the unique cosmology the author of the Fourth Gospel captured from the teaching and ministry of Jesus, a new perspective on creation with its higher dimensions that provide a scientific basis for understanding God, the world, and our place in it.Since Jesus and his disciples spoke Aramaic, the author goes behind the Greek words preserved in the ancient Gospel to discover the original sayings of Jesus and their impact for Christians today. Although the book contains many footnotes and an extensive index, the author's style is easy to read. Stories come alive with a unique writing style that allows the reader to experience what it was like to be with Jesus in first-century Israel. You'll see Jesus as you've never seen him before: laughing, arguing with religious authorities, dying on the Roman stake, and exploding from the tomb on Easter morning.The author's viewpoint is orthodox, but non-traditional. He asks questions of the text few others have and finds answers that shed new meaning on familiar verses. The book includes the author's translation of the Gospel of John, clarifying words too often left unexplored. For example, what "world" did God so love He sent his only Son? And what did agape love mean in the context of people who spoke Aramaic, and not primarily Greek? Jesus: The Cosmic Man is a verse-by-verse tour de force of the only eyewitness Gospel to the life and ministry of Jesus.

Cold-Case Christianity
Author: J. Warner Wallace
Publisher: David C Cook
ISBN: 1434705463
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

Proving History
Author: Richard C. Carrier
Publisher: Prometheus Books
ISBN: 1616145609
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
This in-depth discussion of New Testament scholarship and the challenges of history as a whole proposes Bayes’s Theorem, which deals with probabilities under conditions of uncertainty, as a solution to the problem of establishing reliable historical criteria. The author demonstrates that valid historical methods—not only in the study of Christian origins but in any historical study—can be described by, and reduced to, the logic of Bayes’s Theorem. Conversely, he argues that any method that cannot be reduced to this theorem is invalid and should be abandoned. Writing with thoroughness and clarity, the author explains Bayes’s Theorem in terms that are easily understandable to professional historians and laypeople alike, employing nothing more than well-known primary school math. He then explores precisely how the theorem can be applied to history and addresses numerous challenges to and criticisms of its use in testing or justifying the conclusions that historians make about the important persons and events of the past. The traditional and established methods of historians are analyzed using the theorem, as well as all the major "historicity criteria" employed in the latest quest to establish the historicity of Jesus. The author demonstrates not only the deficiencies of these approaches but also ways to rehabilitate them using Bayes’s Theorem. Anyone with an interest in historical methods, how historical knowledge can be justified, new applications of Bayes’s Theorem, or the study of the historical Jesus will find this book to be essential reading.
