5.0 out of 5 stars a valuable reference on the deity of Christ, May 8, 2000

This review is from: Jesus: A Biblical Defense of His Diety (Paperback)

Although this book is now out of print, if you can get a copy it is quite valuable as a reference on the deity of Christ. Because of its clear organization it is easy to read and makes difficult concepts easy to understand.

The book covers topics such as "Jesus Christ Possesses the Names and Titles of God" and then proceeds to expound on each of them one by one. Other sections are entitled "Jesus Christ Possesses the Attributes of God" and "Jesus Christ Possesses the Authority of God." The author defines what the issues are and what is at stake. He covers the witnesses of the early church and has a section on common objections as well as on other views of the deity of Christ. In addition the author gives his testimony on how he discovered new life in Christ through his extensive research in an attempt to discredit Christianity. Intstead of finding out about a religion, he encountered a person - Jesus Christ.

The writing is very succinct and gives the reader a good review of each argument using only the absolute essentials. Because of his writing style you get a large amount of quality information in a fairly short book. It is, however, much easier to read and finish than the author's "Evidence That Demands A Verdict" which seems more like trying to read through a whole encyclopedia in comparison.

The student of the Word will find virtually all of the major arguments for the deity of Christ distilled into bitesize bits that will not require a degree in theology to comprehend. After reading this book I felt very satisfied in the quality teaching that I had received and the short amount of time that was required to invest. If you have not studied the deity of Christ before you will advance your knowledge by leaps and bounds by studying this little book.
