If any apology be needed for adding another to the various lives of Christ already before the public, it may be well to state how far this little book occupies any independent ground of its own. The object of the writer has been to make some small contribution to the moral and spiritual history of the Life of lives, and this in some especial relation to missionary work and the contact of Christianity with non-Christian religions... From the Preface
This volume is one of a series on the Men of the Bible, issued by the Messrs. Randolph & Co., under an arrangement with the English publishers. It is a most admirable presentation, in a very brief and readable compass, of the best results of modern study of the great theme. On many pages an analysis of a whole subject will be found stated in the progressive phrases of a sentence. And the unity of the historical development is steadily held in view. The plan admits of but little discussion of disputed points; but on all the great questions of the authenticity of the Gospel of John, the substantial harmony of the four gospels, the divinity of Christ, miracles, prophecy, sacrifice, resurrection, and the gift of the Spirit, the Church views are sympathetically and firmly held. It is a little remarkable that a book on the Life of Christ can be written in which it is difficult to discover what is the precise view held by the author on the doctrine of the incarnation. There is no statement nor discussion of the subject as a theological question. We read, indeed, of a "voluntary self inanition of God," "the Divine became human, and emptied itself of its glory, that the human might be glorified into the Divine." But, at the same time, the Divine omniscience and prophetic foresight, the personal exercise of Divine power are clearly and without limitations ascribed to Christ. And, on the other hand, the permanence and identity of his human soul after the resurrection are distinctly asserted, and proved by the permanence of his human feelings. "There is no break in the continuity of His affection." So, too, there is but little reference to questions of harmony and chronology, the plan followed being chiefly that of Dr. Westcott. The best modern authorities on questions of geography and antiquities are followed, and in such a way as to give the color of the times to the facts. And the references to the points of illustration in the life and teachings of Christ with the great thoughts of the heathen religions, are frequent and suggestive. The appeal which this theme makes to the deepest Christian feeling excites in most of the popular writers an inflated rhetoric in the struggle for expression, which renders them prolix and very tiresome to one who looks into them for information or definition. There is something of this inevitable exaltation in this volume, but it combines with a natural power of fresh and condensed expression, which, with the constant necessity for brevity, only appeals to the sympathy of the reader. The little book will be read more than once by one who once reads it, and will prove an invaluable aid to one who wants much in a little space, as well as to those to whom constant study of the subject renders any fresh presentation of the subject acceptable. -The Presbyterian Review, Vol. 10 [1888]
Jesus Christ the Divine Man, His Life and Times (Classic Reprint) by J. F. Vallings Pdf
Excerpt from Jesus Christ the Divine Man, His Life and Times If any apology be needed for adding another to the various lives of Christ already before the public, it may be well to state how far this little book occupies any independent ground of its own. The object of the writer has been to make some small contribution to the moral and spiritual history of the Life of lives, and this in some especial relation to missionary work and the contact of Christianity with non-Christian religions. "The ethical," as Prof Kuenen well says, "is the universal human." Ethical and spiritual sequences of cause and effect have been especially before the writers mind. The Gospel history is "a history, which in every part of it," as Weiss says, "must be considered in the light of Him who transcends all history." The superhistorical relations of the historical life have been touched upon in some of their bearings upon the past, present, and future of Christianity. Even Keim, from whose point of view the present writer wholly differs, while gladly acknowledging his great ability and learning, and not infrequent reverence of tone and enthusiasm of humanity, affirms of Christ's life that it is "bounded at its circumference by the human limitations of His age, in its centre exalted above all." Such language may imply nothing but hero worship, but it is at all events a recognition of the incomparable grandeur of Christ's life and character. While the moral and spiritual aspects of the Life have been placed in the foreground, every effort has been made to present the physical and social environment briefly, yet accurately, in the light of modern research. In this connection the archaeological and geographical labours of the Palestine Exploration Society have been largely drawn upon, and the most recent records of travel, especially those of Captain Conder, Mr. Lawrence Oliphant, and Dr. Selah Merrill. Upon the whole, the greatest obligations are due to Dr. Edersheim His wealth of Rabbinical lore, his great theological erudition, his deep sympathy with Israel, springing from the strongest of all sources, the fountain of blood relationship, and his true spirituality of touch, place his work, in the writers estimate, at the head of all the contemporary literature of the subject.

Gospelbound by Collin Hansen,Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra Pdf
A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.
This book contains a succinct biblical theology of the Christological title "Son of God." This succinct theology is then employed to refute the "divine man Christology" which asserts that the New Testament portrayal of Jesus was essentially equivalent to that of several other Hellenistic figures. Contents: An Examination of the Divine Man Christology; The "Son of God" Concept in the Old Testament; The "Son of God" Title in the New Testament; The "Divine Man" as Background to New Testament Christology; The "Divine Man" as Explanation; Conclusion; Appendix; Index.
Liberal attacks on the doctrine of the divinity of Christ have led evangelicals to rightly affirm the centrality of Jesus's divine nature for his person and work. At times, however, this defense of orthodoxy has led some to neglect Christ's full humanity. To counteract this oversight, theologian Bruce Ware takes readers back to the biblical text, where we meet a profoundly human Jesus who struggled with many of the same difficulties and limitations we face today. Like us, he grew in faith and wisdom, tested by every temptation common to man. And like us, he too received power for godliness through the Holy Spirit, and thus serves not only as the divine Lord to be worshiped, but also the supreme Human to be followed.
- How could Jesus have preexisted his conception and birth? - What does the incarnation really mean? - How important is the virgin birth? - Would it have been possible for Jesus to sin? - Could Christianity get along without the cross? - Why should I believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus? - What is Jesus doing for me now? Dr. Bruce Demarest answers these and many other questions relating to Jesus Christ, the God-Man. He shows that the truths the Bible teaches about Jesus are much more than theoretical or theological concerns. They are basic to the Christian faithÑbasic to your own faith.
For those who truly desire a comprehensive understanding of the exigency of the incarnation, centrality of the cross and the sine qua non of the resurrection...This is a must read! Dr. Williams brilliantly weaves together orthodox theology with practical application resulting in a work meaty enough for the scholar yet digestible and building for the everyday church goer. -- Bishop Donald Clay, Petra International Ministries, Pittsburg, PA This book is an important contribution to the 21st century Christian community. It presents a strong unapologetic biblical methodical argument of The God Man, Jesus, based on Scripture with strong visual illustrations. As such, ministers and lay persons would greatly appreciate and benefit biblically and theologically in regards to the natures and function of The God Man. Therefore, I strongly encourage and recommend everyone to read this book which presents a clear succinct understanding of The God Man. ""De Lafayette Awkward, Princeton Theological Seminary (M.Div. & Th.M), Hebrew University of Jerusalem (ABD), Pastor of New Lots Community Church, Reformed Church in America In 451 the Council of Chalcedon meet and confirmed that Christ had two natures: one divine and the other human. Over the centuries the concept of the "God Man" has confused, intrigued and escaped the logic of theologians, preachers, and students. In his book "The God-Man", Elder J. D. Williams seeks to explain his concept through comprehensive exploration and exposition. Elder Williams has provided an excellent text that includes research, sermons and illustrations that are designed to enlighten the mind, while providing further dialogue among those who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the term the "God-Man". --Rev. Dr. Carl L. Washington, Jr. Pastor, New Mount Zion Baptist Church Former Moderator, United Missionary Baptist Association President, Empire Baptist Missionary Convention Dr. J. D. Williams is a profound pedagogue who's deep and contemplative studies are captured within these pages. His insightful perspective regarding the revelation of the mystery between God and Christ is a must read for all in search of a more weighty theological enlightenment. -- Bishop Eric R. Figueroa, Sr. Presiding Prelate, New Life Covenant Fellowship Senior Pastor, New Life Tabernacle

Whether a skeptic, an agnostic, an inquirer, or a convinced Christian, this book will cause you to consider the mysteries Jesus claimed of Himself and help you know Jesus experientially and personally.
