Introducing Jesus - Judy Groves - książka

Opis

Christianity's core tenet is the belief that the historical Jesus and the Christ of faith are one and the same, asserting that God made a definitive intervention in human history through Jesus. However, this raises the question: is the Jesus documented in history truly the Christian Savior? Moreover, how did a marginal provincial faith, characterized by the paradox of a crucified messiah, manage to dominate the Roman Empire and endure beyond it?"INTRODUCING JESUS - A GRAPHIC GUIDE" tackles these profound questions by placing Jesus within the context of his era. It explores his roots in Judaism and the prevailing anticipation of a Messiah, the influence of Greek philosophical thought, and the Roman tradition of deifying their emperors. The book examines the evolution of Christianity from the era of St. Paul and the transformation of the Church through Roman influence, all the way to contemporary liberation theology. This comprehensive and stimulating analysis is designed to engage readers of all backgrounds, offering insights both to Christians and those of other or no faiths.
