Publisher's Synopsis
Is Jesus "God"? is an unbiased examination of what the Bible really says about Jesus Christ. It is not promoting any religion. Neither is it arguing the Bible is true, or it's inerrant, or Jesus is God, or even that there is a God. This book just examines and clarifies the Bible's real teachings about Jesus. Anyone, believer or nonbeliever, can use it to determine what the most popular book in history really teaches about the person known as Jesus Christ, who lived and died 2000 years ago. The Bible is unique: It is the world's only unedited, frameless, correlative anthology. It contains a core message-a soteriological cosmology-that only becomes visible when over fifty doctrines are put together. This may not sound remarkable, but it is a feat that has never been done before. No other collected writings of multiple authors spanning over half a century exist, that when put together, create a single coherent whole-without a common editor harmonizing the books, and without the writers following a common frame (standard and guides). Volume 1 identifies the biblical passages that fall under the Pre-Mortal Jesus and Human Jesus domains. This book also points out that regardless of one's opinion about Christianity; it has given major tangible benefits to the world, that directly affects all of us in a positive way on a daily basis. Every right humanity as a whole enjoys today and nearly every invention that makes our lives better-can be shown to owe a debt to Judeo-Christianity at some point in the past or present. This does not necessarily mean the religion is true and the others are false; only that one needs to be honest about how much the world owes to Jesus Christ because of the influence of his followers. Moreover, this volume distills atheism's arguments down to the only empirical issues that matter: I. How did man come into existence? II. How did the universe come into existence? III. How did life come into existence? It shows that given what we really know for sure about why Homo sapiens sapiens is so unique and superior to all other species, and what we actually know about how life and the universe came into existence; the only honest answer an atheist can provide to the above questions, for now, is: "I don't know."
