Christ then becomes a new Socrates or some other great prophet, a great and holy figure but not divine. Yet, if we sever Christ from his humanity, he…

The Gospel of John is one of the four Gospels written to tell the story of Jesus’ life. Just as Matthew, Mark, and Luke have given their accounts of Jesus’ miracles so has John. Though these accounts may have their own way of telling what is important to them, the main fact is that these Gospels were recorded so that we may learn more of the word of God. “In order to understand John’s approach to the story of Jesus, the reader must recognize the centrality of the incarnation of the Gospel”…

La Belle Jardinière created in 1507[2]. In both cases, these masterpieces depict famous religious figures, The Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ.

comes one of the most commonly known stories in history. One certainly does not have to be a Christian to know or even be familiar with the story Jesus Christ’s Passion, Death and Resurrection.

on the birth, life and death of Jesus. This story starts with the birth of Jesus, and follows with the ministry of Jesus throughout his life. “As Jesus’ ministry grows in its impact, it becomes a shared ministry; Jesus commissions and sends his first twelve to spread the good news of the kingdom, teaching, healing and driving out demons as he has done.” (Johnston, 2006, p.154) Matthew also gives us the knowledge of who Jesus is, and gives us many examples of how Jesus lived a perfect life while…

Review of Philip Yancey’s The Jesus I Never Knew In The Jesus I Never Knew, Philip Yancey’s unpretentious and unbiased examination of Jesus’ earthly walk, it is almost as if Mr. Yancey is interviewing Jesus himself. He candidly shares his personal doubts, fears and preconceptions from his own American twentieth century fundamental Christian upbringing, but attempts to set all that aside and look at the historical evidence available from several perspectives.
