Three Crucial Questions About Jesusby Murray J. HarrisThree Crucial Questions About Jesus is another book on apologetics, that is the defense of Christianity, or the study of evidences. In a somewhat different approach, Harris presents his defense of three pillars of the Christian faith. He frames these studies so that they serve as models for those seeking to defend Christianity.1. Did Jesus exist? Harris first addresses Jesus' historical existence, surveying four early classical writers for evidence taht a person named Jesus of Nazareth lived in Israel in the first century. 2. Did Jesus rise from the dead? In debate format, Harris counters the most convincing arguments that Jesus did not return from the dead. 3. Is Jesus God? Finally, Harris amasses New Testament evidence taht teaches that Jesus is God, thereby countering those who believe that Jesus godhood has been read into the bible by overzealous believers. Although there are probably better books on Evidences, this one is worth the read. Its different approach may serve as better learning for some, and Harris gets to the point quickly and very simply in this book. Overall, it is a good book for any young Christian to read. Editors The Editors do not advocate everything taught by the authors of the books we review. Like us, these authors are fallable humans and those who choose to read these books should measure them by the bible, the one true standard. |
