The Biblical and Historical Evidence for Christ - The Case for Jesus
The Biblical and Historical Evidence for Christ - The Case for Jesus

Review:Dr. Pitre has gone beyond what would be considered excellent scholarly work. In the process, he deposes many modern scholars and unseats their theories in setting the record straight on the historicity and reliability of the gospels and the biographical data we can draw from them about Jesus. It is not unlike uncovering evidence in great detective investigative research but also mixed with fresh new scholarship to meet the challenges that skeptics have thrown into biblical scholarship for decade...

The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth - The Jefferson Bible
The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth - The Jefferson Bible

Review:I was an evangelical Christian from age 15 to age 30. Just this year, my views and beliefs have been drastically changing, and though I've chosen to not label myself any longer, I would fit into the Deist category quite well. A Deist is essentially what Thomas Jefferson, and several of the most famous founders of the US, were (not Theists, as fundamentalist Christians would have everyone believe).

Jesus of Nazareth is the man who lived 2000 years ago, who taught revolutionary spiritual tr... Read more

Review:All Things New: Heaven, Earth, and the Restoration of Everything You Love by John Eldredge reminds the reader of an often forgotten, yet essential, part of Christianity - the restoration and renewal of earth. As Eldredge puts it on page 16, "the thing you are made for is the renewal of all things.

Jesus speaks often in the gospel of the Kingdom of God. Knowi... Read more

Bringing to Life the Ancient World of Scripture - NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible
Bringing to Life the Ancient World of Scripture - NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible

Review:One of the fundamental rules of biblical interpretation is that the Bible should be read in context. A corollary to this is that taking the Bible out of context is a great error. Bible readers should strive to do the former and avoid the latter. Context changes everything, you see.

The problem is that our cultural context is not the cultural context of the Bible’s original writers, hearers, and readers. For example, the story of Abraham (Genesis 12:1ff.) took place 4,000 years ago. Abraha... Read more

Review:Fabulous book. If Jesus were taught to us this way from the begining, we Christians would probably struggle less with our faith and could explain it better to others. Borg has a writing style that is accessible to every level of reader, academic and spiritual. Read more
