What If Jesus Is Right?
Description
"Here's your chance to meet the real Jesus, not the caricature of him that culture likes to offer." - Lee Strobel
Should we pay attention to what Jesus actually said?
How is it that two thousand years ago, a young man from an obscure part of ancient Israel, who was an outsider to the religious establishment, and who was killed as both a political dissident and a religious imposter, founded the most influential movement of all time? Today, more than two billion people claim to be Christian, making the Christian faith the largest religion in the world. The influence of Jesus is immense and widespread in Western civilization, not only through Christian churches globally, but in Western culture and history.
Jesus is such an influential figure that even today groups fight over whether Jesus is on their side. An excellent apologetics resource or book for anyone curious about Christianity, What If Jesus Is Right? explores the claims people make about Jesus and compares those ideas to what Jesus actually said about himself. The book presents four of the most popular false claims about Jesus and what the Bible says about him.
In What If Jesus Is Right?, you will:
- explore the most common false claims about Jesus
- study why Jesus is divine and not a mere moral teacher
- learn why what Jesus said does not align with radical inclusivity
- discover why you can trust Jesus
- study the actual words of Jesus and what they mean for your life
Jesus asks his disciples, "Who do you say I am?" It is a key question for every person.
What does Jesus say about himself? Do you take him at his word? This book is your invitation to discover the truth and explore in depth the Jesus of the Bible.
