Jesus, The Son Of Man

Jesus Among Other Gods, a book written by Ravi K. Zacharias, provides a defense of the uniqueness of the Christian message, specifically that Jesus is God. Zacharias’s aim was not to write a straightforward treatise that attacked believers who espoused traditional religions. In fact, his approach was to evaluate seven questions that Jesus answered in unique ways, which no other pseudo-divine claimant could assert. In evaluating the questions, he demonstrated Jesus’ uniqueness and qualifications as the son of God, over and above the other contenders for the prophetic office. Using vignettes, anecdotes, quotes, excerpts, interview transcripts, and scriptures, Zacharias scrutinized religious philosophies concerning deities and prophets from

Throughout time biblical scriptures have been interpreted differently by different religions, scholar’s, and languages. Many theologians have provided different interpretations based off their mentors and time they lived. Using works from the Sacra Pagina Series, Norton Bible scriptures, and excerpts from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and teaching of John Calvin this essay will show the vast differences of interpretations in just one biblical scripture let alone throughout the entire bible and its many interpretations.

The Gospels also known as the ‘Good News’ is a collection of stories known as parables grouped together in four different perspectives titled Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. These Gospels were written after a period of reflection on the life of Jesus Christ and each provide a different and unique insight of his teachings, morals and lessons. As demonstrated in the source quote, each writer of the Gospels was intend to “present what Jesus meant to them”. Three of these gospels are very similar (Matthew, Mark & Luke) and therefore know as Synoptic while John portrays a completely different perspective on Jesus’s life. Therefore, this report will focus just on Two Gospels and as such on what Jesus meant to the writers of The Gospel of Mark and also the Gospel of Luke.

Jesus is the pivotal point of the Bible for the Christian worldview. Jesus’s coming as a savior was repeatedly foretold in the Old Testament. In Isaiah 9:6, it speaks of a baby who will be Prince of Peace. Also in Isaiah 53:3-7, it was predicted of the torture Jesus Christ which was for the atonement of our sins.

God become man, one of the profound mysteries of the Gospel and the Christian faith, is evidenced and affirmed throughout Scripture, yet it all too often is neglected in modern Christian thought and practice. In the work, The Incarnation of God, John Clark and Marcus Johnson do just the opposite. They bring the truth from scripture to robustly discuss a theology of the incarnation of God. Throughout their discussion, it becomes evident that the book strives to address the centrality of the incarnation, to the whole of the Christian faith, finding it’s support both in scripture and also the historic understandings of the catholic Church.

The Son- God’s compassionate side. As God decrees the Fall of Mankind, the Son decides that, with his sacrifice, he will save Mankind. Technically Jesus though he had not been born at that time in Theology.

Introduction Dr. Christopher J. H. Wright (Ph. D., Cambridge) is an Old Testament scholar, an ordained Anglican ministry, and is the director of international ministries with the Langham Partnership International. In Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament, Wright seeks to display the continuity between the Hebrew Scriptures and Jesus’ self-understanding. Wright maintains that Jesus’ self-understanding rooted in the history of salvation that God planned and worked for Israel. This review will show that Wright’s book provides the reader with a rich understanding of Jesus’ unique identity as the Hebrew

The Historical Jesus: Five Views edited by J.K Beilby and P.R Eddy is a most interesting book to say the least. This is a great book to be introduced into the world of the historical Jesus. Along with the editors we have five contributors hence the name “Five Views”. This includes Robert M. Price, J.D Crossan, Luke Timothy Johnson, D.G Dunn and Darrel L. Bock. Each contributor presents their own views of the historical Jesus presented in the gospels and what they believe.

In this book, Wright puts the reader on a time machine and brings them back to Palestine, 1st century and starts the story of “historical Jesus”. Wright directly goes into the Gospels and talks about Jesus. Put down the ambition of Jews, take away the mystery of history, break the rule of religion, and at the moment when you realize about Jesus’ real desire, we finally can feel and see the real Jesus. Throughout this book, we discover questions such as “Who did Jesus think he was, what was Jesus trying to accomplish and why did he try to do that.” Wright not only tries to prove who Jesus is in a theological way but also explains who Jesus was in Jesus’ world. For both people in Jesus’ time period and people in today, Jesus was foreign and was different than what people thought as a ‘God’. Because of this, we missed the fact that Jesus was standing in the middle of history, culture, and religion. In the Bible, Jesus came to this land as a king and as a Messiah. But what is the relationship between Jesus and us?

The Aramaic language has been one of the longest living languages to be used at Mass. Chaldeans are one of the first nations to use Aramaic (“Who Are”). The Aramaic alphabet was influenced by the Phoenician alphabet (“Aramaic”). Chaldeans are heirs to the language of Aramaic (“Who Are”). Aramaic was developed in the 10th century B.C. (“Aramaic”). The language has been referred to as Syriac which is Aramaic (“Who Are”). In the 7th century, Aramaic was replaced with Arabic. Aramaic was once the main language of the Jews

The purpose of the paper is to differentiate between Christ of faith and Jesus of history. New Testament biblical scholars from the 19th Century have been preoccupied by the notion of Christ of faith versus Jesus of History. Jesus of history can be described as the quest for historical Jesus, while the Christ of Faith is the Christ of Christian belief either through the Church or historically. Some traditions even went ahead to argue that the Jesus of History could never be found and therefore the Christ of faith is the only way forward for Christians. On the other hand, those who have been promoting the Jesus of History have often assumed that the historical Jesus is much superior as compared to the Christ of Faith. Despite the key differences between Christ of faith and the historical Jesus, both these aspect have an implication for Western Christianity.

Jesus Christ is one of the most recognizable figures in the modern world. And the legacies of few people have sparked as many wars, built as many nations, and changed as many individual’s lives, as Jesus of Nazareth. Understandably, scholars and spiritualists alike have striven to answer one central question, “who was this Jesus?” To some, He is known as the Son of God, who overcame death and sin, offering salvation through His resurrection for all who place their faith in him. To others, He was merely a carpenter from the small town of Nazareth, living in the early years of the Common Era. And trying to figure out much else about Jesus is one of the most

The “variety of literary genres is paralleled by the diversity of its authors’ thoughts (Harris 2014). Each of the writers of the New Testament believe wholeheartedly in the significance of Jesus and his time on Earth. However, at times they each have a unique and different take on his life and teachings. The “fifth gospel” according to Thomas, paints Jesus as a figure that tries to lead his disciples down a path of enlightenment towards God’s kingdom.

The word "gospel" is a translation of the Greek word "euangelion" which means "good news. The first three books in the New Testament (Mark, Matthew, and Luke) are often referred to as the Synoptic Gospels (from Greek synoptikos, "seen together") They bear greater similarity to each other than any of the other gospels in the New Testament. Along with these similarities come some differences among the gospels, suggesting that each gospel was written for a specific audience and for a specific purpose. This paper will examine the resurrection of Jesus, while identifying the significant differences between Mark, Matthew and Luke. This paper will also analyze the differences to suggest the prominent theological perspective each gospel author
