Restoring the Biblical Christ: Is Jesus God?

Where did the modern beliefs about Jesus come from? What did the earliest Christians believe about Jesus? Did they believe Jesus preexist his humanity? That he was born of a virgin? This book is jam-packed with little-known quotes from early Christianity, quotes from respected biblical scholars, and information on the earliest biblical manuscripts (over 500 reference notes!). Restoring the Biblical Christ: Is Jesus God? documents the earliest beliefs regarding Jesus and how certain "theologically charged" biblical texts have often been mistranslated to promote a corrupted view of Christ. Restoring the Biblical Christ: Is Jesus God? argues that there is one God, the Father (1 Corinthians 8:6), that Jesus was a man (John 8:40) distinct from God (John 7:16-17), but that God revealed himself through Jesus (John 14:10). This position leaves many questions to be answered, like Why does the Bible say Jesus was worshipped? Why is the Word called God in John 1:1? What did Jesus mean when he said, "Before Abraham was, I am"? All of these questions and more are addressed in detail within Restoring the Biblical Christ: Is Jesus God?
