Encountering Jesus

The work is well organized. For instance, the book begins with the Historical Jesus, the New Testament, the Gospels, Paul's letters, the early Church and the Jesus of today. Tacitus verified Jesus' public life during the reign of Emperor Tiberius. The Evangelist Luke made a similar verification in Luke 3: 1-2. The New Testament is the primary source material on Jesus, although the Old Testament prophecy of Jesus is chilling. i.e. born in Bethlehem of a virgin and the Resurrection Specific Aramaic words are traceable to Jesus. i.e. Abba, Talitha Koum, Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani The world of Jesus is fascinating for the inclusion of the Holy Land, Aramaic religious feasts and the politics of 1st century Palestine. Jesus utilized the parables to invite the flock to share in the Kingdom of God. The Church teaching on Mary was very specific. For instance, Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit. The book doesn't say so specifically; however, the Great Fire of Rome 64 AD may have destroyed much of the official Roman record of Jesus. That record could have included correlating statements of public officials about Jesus, real evidence of artifacts and official documents under the seal of Rome. The book cites that we should leave the timing of the end of the world in God's hands. There is an extensive coverage of the Dead Sea Scrolls in an online reference. The volume ends with a very extensive index of Scripture and pertinent references by the author. The presentation is excellent for a wide constituency of readers; namely, high school, college and contemporary religious scholars.
