This work offers a different perspective on the life of Christ and his work -- his teaching, his miracles, his death and resurrection -- and ultimately, who he was and why he came. Relating the gospel events to the world we live in today, the author looks at the radical words of this Jewish carpenter and asks whether we are taking him seriously enough in our own day and age. From the manger in Bethlehem to the cross in Jerusalem, the author presents a complex character that generates questions as well as answers. The author paints a portrait of Jesus that is brilliant, creative, challenging, fearless, compassionate, unpredictable, and ultimately satisfying.\n\nPublished in: Grand Rapids, Mich.\n\nPhysical description: 288 pages ; 22 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":6,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"The kingdom of the cults \/ Walter Martin.","author":"Martin, W.","isbn":"0871237962","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Bethany House Publishers"},"datePublished":"1985","inLanguage":"English","description":"Contents:\tThe kingdom of the cults -- Scaling the language barrier -- The psychological structure of cultism -- Jehovah's witnesses and the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society -- Christian Science -- Mormonism--the Latter-day Saints -- Spiritism--the Cult of Antiquity -- The Theosophical Society -- Zen Buddhism -- The Baha'i faith -- The Unity School of Christianity -- Herbert W.
