Who Was Jesus? Fingerprints of the Christ

$9.30

Was Jesus Christ truly the divine Son of God who walked the earth 2,000 years ago? How can we be sure the gospel story is an accurate and infallibly recorded historical account? When the gospels are examined scientifically, can we truthfully uphold them as "inerrant?" Is it possible to assert honestly and ethically that the Bible is the inspired Word of God? The answers to these questions and many more may surprise and shock you! Is the New Testament a "historical record" or "factual biography" of what really happened, or a tool for the priesthood to lay down doctrines and dogma as they were developed over the centuries? Was Jesus the Jewish Messiah? Was Christ the Savior of the World? Was He a Cynic sage or a political rebel? Or was Jesus Christ something altogether different? Subjects in this fascinating "CSI-style" investigation by controversial independent scholar of religious history D.M. Murdock aka "Acharya S" include: Foreword by Dr. Robert M. Price The Gospel According to Matthew The Nativity of Jesus Christ The Baptism and Temptation The Calling of the Disciples The Sermon on the Mount The Lord's Prayer Healing of the Sick and Casting out Demons The Mission of the Twelve Working on the Sabbath John the Baptist Beheaded Walking on Water The Canaanite Woman Peter the "Rock" The Transfiguration Becoming like Children Eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven Entry into Jerusalem Driving out the Moneychangers Cursing the Fig Tree Signs of the Times/Second Coming Jesus's Anointment with Oil The Last Supper The Garden of Gethsemane The Betrayal by Judas Christ's Trial The Passion and Crucifixion The Resurrection of the Dead The Empty Tomb The Gospel According to Mark Was Mark First? Comparison of Matthew and Mark The Missing Scriptures The Gospel According to Luke Chronological Discrepancies Luke's Tenor The Gospel According to John Authentic or Adulterated? Who Killed Jesus? Textual Harmonization Inspired Originals? Scribal Scalliwags Error-Filled Copies Eyewitness Accounts or Compilations? The Gospel Dates Anonymous and Pseudonymous Authors According to Whom? "Back in the Day..." The Lukan Prologue Irenaeus, "Father of the Catholic Canon" Church Father and Bishop Papias Justin Martyr The Rylands Papyrus Late Dating of the Gospels? Jesus Outside of the Bible Titus Flavius Josephus Pliny the Younger Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus Publius/Gaius Cornelius Tacitus Thallus, Phlegon and Mara Bar-Serapion, et al. The Talmud Gnostic Sources Extrabiblical Christian Sources Who are Elijah and Elisha? Jesus as Fulfillment of Prophecy Questions about the Gospel Story Miracles, Impossibilities and Implausibilities Failed Prophecies Contradictions and Inconsistencies Errors in Time and Place Chronological Problems Translation Errors and Language Problems Illogic and Irrationality Jesus's Character Repellant Deeds, Sayings and Doctrines Apology Accepted? "It Doesn't Matter?" Four Camera Angles What Jesus Felt or Thought History or Propaganda? A Uniquely Divine Birth? Salvation is from the Jews? Son of Joseph? Massacre or Myth? Son of God? The Resurrection of Lazarus? The Naked Youth The "Twelve" The Sacred Meal The Bloody Sweat The Trial and Crucifixion The Sun of Righteousness The Sacred Spear and The Side-Wounding The Empty Tomb Redux The Ascension into Heaven The Sayings of Jesus? Conclusion Terror in the Name of God Vacuous Christianity? This detailed but succinct analysis includes quotes from Christian authorities, apologists and evangelists, as well as New Testament scholars, such as: John Ankerberg Craig L. Blomberg F.F. Bruce William Lane Craig John Dominic Crossan Bart Ehrman Norman Geisler Gary Habermas Josh McDowell John P. Meier Bruce M. Metzger J.P. Moreland Ronald H. Nash Lee Strobel Merrill C. Tenney Ben Witherington Edwin Yamauchi Using the Bible itself, as well as the research of these individuals and others, Murdock demonstrates that what you see is not what you get when it comes to Christ and Christianity.
