The Divinity of Jesus Christ Revisited in the Third Millennium by Leopold Sarr Pdf

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.

The Third Millennium by David Walsh Pdf

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.

The Third Millennium Gospel of Jesus Christ by John WorldPeace Pdf

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.

Three Views on the Millennium and Beyond by Craig A. Blaising Pdf

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.

Christology Revisited by John Macquarrie Pdf

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.

A Case for the Divinity of Jesus by Dean L. Overman Pdf

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 divinityof Jesus. Overman analyzes often-overlooked evidence from liturgies and letters written in the years immediately following Jesus' death—decades earlier than the Gnostic gospels or the New Testament gospels. Addressing questions raised by books such as Bart Ehrman's Misquoting Jesus and Elaine Pagels' The Gnostic Gospels, Overman presents powerful evidence from the earliest Christian communities that will be new for many modern Christians and builds a carefully reasoned case for Jesus truly being the Son of God.

When Jesus Became God by Richard E. Rubenstein Pdf

“[A] panoramic view of early Christianity as it developed against the backdrop of the Roman Empire of the fourth century” (Publishers Weekly). The story of Jesus is well known, as is the story of Christian persecutions during the Roman Empire. The history of fervent debate, civil strife, and bloody riots within the Christian community as it was coming into being, however, is a side of ancient history rarely described. Richard E. Rubenstein takes the reader to the streets of the Roman Empire during the fourth century, when a fateful debate over the divinity of Jesus Christ is being fought. Ruled by a Christian emperor, followers of Jesus no longer fear for the survival of their monotheistic faith. But soon, they break into two camps regarding the direction of their worship: Is Jesus the son of God and therefore not the same as God? Or is Jesus precisely God on earth and therefore equal to Him? The vicious debate is led by two charismatic priests. Arius, an Alexandrian priest and poet, preaches that Jesus, though holy, is less than God. Athanasius, a brilliant and violent bishop, sees any diminution of Jesus’s godhead as the work of the devil. Between them stands Alexander, the powerful Bishop of Alexandria, who must find a resolution that will keep the empire united and the Christian faith alive. With thorough historical, religious, and social research, Rubenstein vividly recreates one of the most critical moments in the history of religion. “A splendidly dramatic story . . . Rubenstein has turned one of the great fights of history into an engrossing story.” —Jack Miles, The Boston Globe; author of God: A Biography

That Messiah from Qumran by Ed Tenhor Pdf

Dr. Tenhor's first book, That Rabbi from Nazareth, now has a companion volume, That Messiah from Qumran. Both of the volumes address the related themes of the humanity and divinity of the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith, Tenhor takes a look at how the Church confessed Jesus as divine through enormous struggles in the early centuries of the Church and shows how doctrines developed through complex interpretations by various different parties of thought. Ed introduces Ebyonites, Docetists, Marcionites, Dynamic and Modalistic Monarchians, Sabellianist Patripassionists, Apollinarians, Monothelitists, Monophysites, and many more interpreters from every century, producing a church history volume for a local church study group, or for personal reading. Along with theologians from every century introducing themselves in the first person, Ed introduces quite a number of Christian thinkers from the present day, many of whom are outstanding women leaders of the Church. While looking at two thousand years of interpreting Jesus, Ed asks if it could be that Jesus was who he was and is who he is, and perhaps not necessarily who the Church, or interpreters, say that he is. That Messiah from Qumran is provocative and unconventional. Yet, it is a way of meeting the Jesus of history and of faith. It is a way of catching a glimpse of the reality of God present in that life. Expand your mind, learn some church history, understand something about theology, and grow in your faith. Pick up both volumes for your church library.
