NBD / Biblion

De Bijbel levert overtuigende bewijzen voor de goddelijkheid van Jezus Christus. Van de drie mogelijkheden: Jezus was een geestezieke, een leugenaar of God zelf, blijft alleen de laatste over. Althans, dat probeert de auteur, medewerker van de Amerikaanse evangelisatie-organisatie Campus Crusade

for Christ, in dit boekje aan te tonen. Een veelheid van vooral nieuwtestamentische bijbelcitaten en aanhalingen van andere auteurs moet zijn betoog kracht bij zetten. Was Jezus echt de Messias? Is Hij echt uit de doden opgestaan? Antwoord: ja. Een persoonlijk getuigenis van de auteur en aanwijzingen voor de beginnende christen sluiten deze 3e druk af (pp. 91-95). Dit is de enige wijziging t.o.v. de voorgaande druk. Het populaire boekje hoort thuis in de Amerikaanse ‘revival’-literatuur en is geschreven voor al diegenen die worstelen met de (vermeende) tegenspraken tussen wetenschappelijke inzichten en bijbels geloof in de goddelijkheid en opstanding van Jezus Christus.

I keep this on hand for loaning out to folks who want to know why I believe that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour and actually walked this earth and rose from the grave, you know, all the stuff the Bible teaches. This is faith confirming.

This book presents logical arguements for Christ, His life, His works, and the validity of His claims.

With almost ten million copies in print, More Than a Carpenter continues to be the most powerful evangelism tool worldwide. Josh McDowell's timeless examination of the true nature of Christ and his impact on our lives is one of the best-selling Christian books ever. Written by a former skeptic of

Christianity, it is a hard-hitting book for those who doubt Jesus' deity and his purpose.
