Slandering Jesus: Six Lies People Tell about the Man Who Said He Was God [Hardcover]

Erwin Lutzer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 27, 2007

Both skeptics and believers want the truth about the man who claimed to be God. Renowned scholar Dr. Erwin Lutzer provides the ultimate answers. Drawing on decades of rigorous Bible study and teaching experience, he examines six widely-held beliefs about Jesus Christ—untruths that have even infiltrated even the church—and counters them with facts. The fabrications include:

• The family tomb of Jesus was discovered
• Jesus escaped the crucifixion
• Jesus wanted and needed Judas to betray him
• Jesus was just a man
• Jesus is one way among many to God
• Jesus has a dark secret

Using clear logic and historical evidence, Dr. Lutzer explains how these lies sprouted and grew, gives readers deeper insight into the true character and qualities of Jesus, and equips readers to identify and expose lies that demean him.

This review is from: Slandering Jesus: Six Lies People Tell about the Man Who Said He Was God (Hardcover)

A very good read. Lutzer keeps to his point in each segment and carves up the lies so prevelent in our "Create your own god" culture. But make sure you read at least the New Testament first or you will look quite foolish saying that Jesus Christ never claimed to be God.

This review is from: Slandering Jesus: Six Lies People Tell about the Man Who Said He Was God (Hardcover)

Every Sunday I have the high honor of worshipping among the people of God at the historic Moody Church here in Chicago. Pastor Lutzer does a masterful job of preaching God's Word, and the Gospel of Christ to his flock.

The most important chapter in this book is Lie # 6, "Jesus is One Way among Many"--the lie that talk show queen Oprah Winfrey has espoused publicly.

It is vitally important that Jesus be represented as He is: The Absolute Divine Son of God...crucified, buried, resurrected, ascended and coming again!

Get this book.
