Book Description
Biblical Christianity is challenged today by other religions such as Hinduism, Islam, Mormonism, Buddhism, Jehovah s Witness, Scientology, to name a few, including atheists and agnostics, who claim that Jesus was simply a man, a great teacher or guru, or a prophet of God who worked his way to godhood. Are such claims supported by the evidence? Can we trust the Bible to tell us the truth about Jesus? Is Jesus Christ truly God? Can we find evidence of his deity in the Old Testament? Does the New Testament affirm unequivocally that He is God? Are there reliable non-Christian sources that back such claims of deity? This book aims at addressing these fundamental questions while providing solid internal and external evidence of the divinity of Jesus Christ. In this age of plural spirituality, thirst for truth, and in need of an evidence-based dialogue among various religions, the book makes a compelling case for a closer scrutiny of prophecies contained in the Bible.

Book Description
This provocative meditation on the turn of the millennium explores the significance that a celebration of Christ's birth can have beyond the Christian community. Writing from the perspective of Christian philosophy, David Walsh ponders the emergence of modern civilization from the medieval Christian past, concluding that Christian theology grounds the dominant ideas of modern society. He professes the importance and promise of Christianity while rejecting the Gnosticism, advocated by Harold Bloom and others, that places the divine within the self. Affirming Christ's place at the heart of civilization, Walsh argues that the Christian faith has relevance beyond its own boundaries for all traditions that find their common ground in reason. This contemplative book asserts that the Christian millennial jubilee has meaning for all and that it points the way toward the fullness of life in this world as well as in eternity.

Book Description
A Reorganization of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John into the Third Millennium Gospel of Jesus Christ. This Third Millennium Gospel of Jesus Christ is a consolidation of the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John with the addition of a few verses from the unofficial Gospel of Phillip and the Gospel of Thomas with regards to Mary Magdalene. Matthew and Luke both incorporate the Gospel of Mark. I have eliminated the repetitions and when the same verses appear in Matthew, Mark, Luke or John, I have chosen one for my gospel. Matthew and Luke also both copied verses from the Gospel of "Q" (a gospel constructed based on the repetitions in Luke and Matthew) and I have eliminated the repetition with these verses as well. 30% of the unofficial Gospel of Thomas is repeated in the official gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. I have kept the chronological order from the Annunciation of the birth of John the Baptist to the Sermon on the Mount and from Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to the Resurrection. I have grouped the miracles, healings, raising from the death, exorcisms, parables, teachings, and conflicts with the Pharisees together in categories and have not tried to keep them in chronological order. The purpose of this gospel is simple; to make the story of Jesus more readable, more user-friendly. In this gospel, you can read the story of Jesus from beginning to end without starting and stopping with each traditional gospel and without the repetition. I feel the awesome power of the miracles, healings, and teachings, etc. are more inspiring when read together. If I have chosen Luke's rendition of certain verses over Matthew and so if you prefer Matthew's rendition, then substitute in Matthew. My goal is to increase the reading of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Book Description
Are these the last days? Could Jesus return at any time to establish his thousand-year reign on earth? What is the nature of Christ's millennial kingdom referred to in the book of Revelation? What must happen before Jesus returns, and what part does the church play? Three predominant views held by evangelicals seek to answer these and related questions: premillennial, postmillennial, and amillennial. This book gives each view a forum for presentation, critique, and defense. Besides each contributor's personal perspective, various interpretations of the different positions are discussed in the essays. Three Views on the Millennium and Beyond lets you compare and contrast three important eschatological viewpoints to gain a better understanding of how Christianity's great hope, the return of Jesus, is understood by the church. The Counterpoints series provides a forum for comparison and critique of different views on issues important to Christians. Counterpoints books address two categories: Church Life and Bible and Theology. Complete your library with other books in the Counterpoints series.

Author: Dean L. Overman Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield ISBN: 0742563278 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 352
Book Description
Whether Jesus was really the Son of God or not is a central question for Christians-and one that has provoked heated debate since the time of Jesus' birth. Dean L. Overman examines the earliest Christian records to build a compelling case for the divinity of Jesus. Addressing questions raised by books such as Bart Ehrman's Misquoting Jesus and Elaine Pagels' The Gnostic Gospels, Overman builds a carefully reasoned case for Jesus truly being the Son of God.
Author: John Macquarrie Publisher: ISBN: Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 132
Book Description
Here Macquarrie challenges extreme views of many kinds, criticizing those theologies that over-emphasize the divine side of Jesus to such a degree that they almost ignore his humanity. In addition, he criticizes those "adoptionist" views, ancient and modern, that threaten to take away the very notion that Jesus is the "God-man" (this paradox is the subject of his first chapter). Finally, he criticizes modern New Testament scholarship, arguing that even if we knew vastly more about the historical Jesus, the mystery of his person would remain.
