Showing titles in Christology

Can anyone in our high-tech world truly understand someone who lived two thousand years ago? Can we get through twenty centuries of tradition to the real person who started it all? Andreas Köstenberger shows that the Gospels, the four earliest records about Jesus, do just that. These writings, named Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, alongside key facts about the ancient world, bring Jesus's life, his words, and his legacy into focus. Introducing Jesus gets to the heart of what was—and is—important about Jesus.

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Theology of James, Peter, and Jude: Audio Lectures includes high-quality live recordings of college-level lectures that cover...

Christ is the central figure of Christianity. It follows that He is also the central figure of Christian Scripture. As such, all Scripture testifies of Him. This point is almost unanimously accepted among Evangelicals. The disagreements begin to appear when we discuss how Scripture testifies of Christ. This is particularly true concerning the Old Testament. In his book, Preaching Christ from the Old Testament, Pastor Brad Creech examines three popular approaches. They are the “First Testament Priority Approach”, the “Redemptive-Historical, Christocentric Approach”, and the “...

Imagine that you were given the opportunity to interview Jesus, the most remarkable human being of all time. What would you ask? What would he say? That is the premise of this book by psychiatrist Dr. Andrew G. Hodges, a man accustomed to interviewing people about their llives, motives, hopes and fears. The questions are those you or I might ask; the answers are given as if Jesus were sitting beside us, chatting leisurely on a hill in modern Galilee....

The Synoptic Gospels are where most theological students first meet Jesus in sustained detail. Matthew, Mark, and Luke tell one story with shared scenes, shared sayings, and shared structure. Then the differences appear, and many students are left asking: Why do these Gospels sound alike in places, and why do they diverge in others? Synoptic Gospels: For Theological Students is a study guide written to help you read the first three Gospels side by side with clarity. It shows you how to follow the narrative flow, compare parallel passages without confusion, and read each Gospel on its own ...

Diese Frage stellt der Apostel Paulus in seinem Brief an die Gemeinde in Korinth. Ihm geht es nicht um äußere Anpassung, sondern um eine tiefgreifende Erneuerung unseres Wesens – eine Veränderung, die von innen heraus geschieht. In einer Welt, die von Selbstinszenierung, Karrierestreben und Anerkennungssuche geprägt ist, lädt das Evangelium zu echter Ruhe in einer »gesegneten Selbstvergessenheit« ein. In diesem kompakten Buch zeigt Bestsellerautor Timothy Keller, wie die Gute Nachricht von Christus uns von der ständigen Ich-Zentrierung befreit.

Jesús de Nazaret. En busca de la verdad es un apasionante recorrido por la vida y obra del personaje más influyente de todos los tiempos. Desde la filología, la arqueología y la historia, pero sin dejar de lado la exégesis, la antropología o el misticismo, Antonio Puente Mayor parte de la pregunta de Poncio Pilato «¿Quid es veritas?», para tratar de desentrañar la infancia de Jesús, sus años perdidos, la relación con sus seguidores o los acontecimientos que precipitaron su muerte.

What did Jesus - the original Jesus - say about the pressing issues of his and our day? He didn't mention homosexuality but did call for the poor and marginalized to be protected and championed; he never spoke of abortion but did criticize the wealthy and complacent; he didn't side with the rulers and wealthy but did condemn those who judged and exploited others and turned their eyes away from those in need and from the cry for justice. This was Jesus the rebel, Christ the radical, who turned the world upside down and demanded that his followers do the same.

Jesus of Nazareth. Born in a manger. Worshipped as God. Crucified as a criminal. Resurrected in glory. But who was He—really? The question has divided empires, built creeds, and stirred the hearts of millions. And at the center of it all lies a mystery so bold, it redefines what it means to be human and divine at once. Hypostatic Union for Beginners: Exploring the Divine and Human Nature of Christ isn’t just another theology book. It’s a breakthrough guide to the most extraordinary truth in Christian history—explained without ivory-tower jargon or academic fog. Clear, compelling, ...

Who was Jesus of Nazareth? Many admire his spiritual teachings; some go further and claim him as the messiah, while a few deny he ever existed at all. But everyone has an opinion about this obscure preacher who lived his brief life in one of the less significant regions of the Roman Empire; and who, in being crucified, died the traditional death for criminals and trouble-makers. Jesus lived in turbulent times. Under Roman rule, Judea was a hotbed of nationalist, political and religious interests, all vying for power.

While arguing with the Jewish religious leaders, Jesus said, “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me; . . .” In this book we will examine the Tanakh in order to assess the validity of Jesus’ claim. Hesed Volume One is the first book in a four volume series written for Jewish people who want to know the truth about Jesus.

This book was born out of a simple yet profound Scriptural truth which begs an unanswered—even unasked—question: If the fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom, then what is its end? This very question marks the very first words of this book and is the start of what is described as being not as much an exposition of Scripture as much as it is an extrapolation from it, in which Caleb Reichardt takes you on a journey through the Christian life using wisdom as the compass. And what looks to be a book solely about wisdom on its surface, becomes more and more a book about Christ the deeper...

They called him a saint. His enemies called him dangerous. But history remembers him as the man who dared to define the nature of Christ when the church stood on the edge of fracture. Cyril of Alexandria: A Beginner’s Guide is not just a book—it’s your front-row seat to one of the fiercest theological battlegrounds in Christian history. If you’ve ever wondered how the early church survived heresy, imperial pressure, and internal war, you’ll find the answer in the life of one bishop who refused to back down. Cyril wasn’t interested in theories. He wanted truth nailed down, ...

The Christ Beyond the Cross: Jesus of Nazareth, Lost Teachings, and the Awakening of the Divine Within For nearly two thousand years, Jesus Christ has inspired compassion, transformed civilizations, and shaped the moral imagination of billions.

Was he the divine Son of God, a Jewish prophet, a revolutionary teacher, or an embodiment of divine potential within humanity? “The Christ Beyond the Cross” takes readers on a journey through history, theology, archaeology, and modern science to explore these questions. It examines Jesus' life ...

God’s work with the human race in time and space has been, and continues to be, a series of new beginnings. At every point, the Trinity is central, for God’s relationship to his Son and his Spirit stands behind everything about his relationship to us. Starting from before time began, Donald Fairbairn leads us through these beginnings, shedding fresh light on the Trinity at each stage. He offers clues and questions along the way, inviting us to join in the discovery process.

No todos los grupos religiosos que se identifican como cristianos están de acuerdo en que Jesús es Dios. Los mormones, los testigos de Jehová y muchos otros grupos similares profesan creencias diferentes sobre quién y qué es Jesús. El islam, aunque no es una religión cristiana, reconoce a Jesús como un gran profeta, pero niega que sea divino. Todas estas religiones cuestionan la visión cristiana tradicional de Jesucristo como Dios encarnado. Además, los escépticos consideran que la creencia de que Jesús era Dios es un mito. En ¿Es Jesús Dios?, el Dr. Bowman presenta las ...

In his writings, Justin Martyr presents the theme of participation in the divine Logos. The most important source for his philosophical and theological interpretation of this theme is the term “Logos spermatikos” (λόγος σπερματικός), which he explains in several chapters of his Apologies. In introducing the concept into Christian thought, Justin develops the doctrine of the pre-existent Logos, who was hidden during Old Testament times, but then passed on the “seeds of truth” to some philosophers, before fully revealing himself in the Person of Jesus Christ. The ...

Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430) is one of the titans of church history. Works such as his "Confessions" and "On the Trinity" have earned him a place as one of “the Doctors of the Church,” responsible for shaping and defending Christian doctrine throughout the centuries. Yet Augustine was also pastor. Week by week, year by year, he shepherded his flock by preaching to them the Good News. In this short collection, listeners will find seventeen Advent homilies in which Augustine expounded from his pulpit the wonders of Christ’s incarnation for the everyday Christians in his congregation.
