Pre-Owned Discovering the Biblical Jesus by Dr Daniel L Akin (2003-05-03) (Paperback) 0633087610 9780633087616

"WHO DO YOU SAY I AM?" Two thousand years after Jesus first posed it, this remains life's most important question. Yet in our postmodern, pluralistic culture the Jesus question- who HE is , what He did, and what we believe about Him - has been more controversial. What do we make of Jesus' exclusive claim to be "the way, the truth, the life" (John 14:6)? DISCOVERING THE BIBLICAL JESUS explores the Scriptures to reveal the identity and mission of the living Word of God, who "became flesh and took up residence among us" (John 1:14). This six-chapter study responds to modern-day skepticism with timeless biblical affirmations. Readers will examine - New Testament teachings that reveal Jesus' identity as divine Son of God and perfect man; > the ways Jesus' virgin birth, early life, baptism, temptation, miracles, transfiguration, and ascension show that He was Messiah, Son of God, Healer, and Master; > the meaning of Jesus' death on the cross as Savior; > the evidence verifying Jesus' bodily resurrection; > the church's witness to Jesus Christ as eternal, living Lord. A biblical exploration of Jesus' life leads us back to that inevitable question He asks each of us: "Who do you say I am?" May this study drive us to our knees in worship as we embrace Peter's emphatic testimony as our own: "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God!" (Matthew 16:16).
