Historical Christ

Over the past hundred years, scholars have attacked the historical truth of the Gospels and argued that they were originally anonymous and filled with contradictions. In The Case for Jesus, Brant Pitre taps into the wells of Christian scripture, history, and tradition to ask and answer a number...

What if everything you were taught about Jesus was true, just smaller than the actual thing? Edgar Cayce, the "Sleeping Prophet" of Kentucky, spent forty-three years lying down on a couch and accessing what he called the Akashic Records, a cosmic archive of every soul's complete history. Over fourteen thousand documented trance readings, one subject kept returning with unusual tenderness and unusual urgency: Jesus of Nazareth. What Cayce saw was not the Jesus of Sunday school coloring books. It was something stranger and considerably more demanding. A Jesus who spent eighteen missing years ...

The internationally renowned novel about the life and death of Jesus Christ. Hailed as a masterpiece by critics worldwide, The Last Temptation of Christ is a monumental reinterpretation of the Gospels that brilliantly fleshes out Christ’s Passion. This literary rendering of the life of Jesus Christ has courted controversy since its publication by depicting a Christ far more human than the one seen in the Bible. He is a figure who is gloriously divine but earthy and human, a man like any other - subject to fear, doubt, and pain.

Are the biblical gospels historically reliable eyewitness accounts? What does the evidence say? And if they are, what implications does that have for what these writers claim about Jesus? In this book, Christian Apologist and self-proclaimed Bible Nerd Evan Minton defends the reliability of the gospels. He looks into the issue of whether the New Testament writings we have today reflect what the originals said 2,000 years ago, whether Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John whose names are at the top of the gospels are really the people who wrote these books, whether secular extra biblical documents ...

Historical Jesus is the most comprehensive chronology of events in the life of Jesus, the Son of God ever written. Jesus Christ, the Son of God visited this Earth at a point in history. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John give four accounts of the one story of Jesus' ministry. ‘Historical Jesus’ sets all the events of his ministry in the order they occurred and places each one on a specific date or period in history. Seeing the events set in history helps solidify the faith of those who believe in Jesus, and it will help satisfy the curiosity of those who seek to know if, and ...

In the early books of the Old Testament, the mysterious "Angel of the Lord" repeatedly appears—visibly, audibly, even physically—to the Patriarchs, to Moses, to the Prophets. Who is this Angel? Exploring the biblical texts, the testimony of church history, and the insights of Systematic Theology, Matt Foreman and Doug Van Dorn argue that the answer is beyond doubt: the Angel of the Lord is a manifestation of God the Son. Even more, they argue that this Angel appears more often than people realize, because he appears under different titles, including: the Word, the Name, the Glory, the ...

The search for the historical Jesus is a hot topic in both popular and academic circles today and has drawn a lot of attention from national magazines, such as Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report. Further, the media has given an undue amount of attention to the Jesus Seminar's outlandish statements, a self-selected liberal group representing a tiny percentage of New Testament scholarship. Dr. Gary Habermas will address the questions surrounding the debate over the historical Jesus and show a significant number of historical facts about Jesus in secular and non-New Testament sources...

A classic of faith, fortitude, and inspiration, this faithful New Testament tale combines the events of the life of Jesus with grand historical spectacle in the exciting story of Judah of the House of Hur, a man who finds extraordinary redemption for himself and his family. Judah Ben-Hur lives as a rich Jewish prince and merchant in Jerusalem at the beginning of the first century. His old friend, Messala, arrives as commanding officer of the Roman legions.

Ben-Hur is a story of two very different heroes. Judah Ben-Hur, a prince of Jerusalem, is involved in an accident to the Roman procurator which is taken to be intentional. He is seized and sent to the fleet as a galley-slave, while his family is imprisoned and the family goods confiscated. When Ben-Hur saves the fleet captain from drowning after his ship is sunk in a fight with pirates, that officer adopts him as son and heir.

History of Paul the Apostle: The Man With Two Names is a sweeping, edge-of-your-seat historical novel ...
