Living the Christian life is not easy, especially in today's culture. To be who and do what God commands, Christians need to recapture the miraculous. Unfortunately, miracles have been left either with cable TV faith healers or tour guides in the Holy Land. That has to change, because it's by seeing what God does that we discover who he is. And knowing who he is and what he does will change who we are and what we do. Pastor Gregg Matte believes that the seven "I AM" statements and the seven mira...

What kind of man was Jesus Christ? A close examination of the Gospels in their historic and religious context, Alan Watson argues, reveals St. Mark's text as the most plausible account of how Jesus saw himself and how he was perceived by his contemporaries. Finding in Mark that Jesus felt himself beyond the law, basically apolitical, hostile to dogma, and deliberately incomprehensible to his followers and enemies, Watson concludes that Jesus was essentially a cult leader - a charismatic individu...

Dr W Graham Monteith firmly believes that theology must be born in the community, and out of personal experience. He has cerebral palsy, and many of the images in "Deconstructing Miracles" were implanted in his mind in Westerlea (a pioneering special school in Edinburgh, now the Head Office of Capability Scotland), where Graham learned to think without writing and use dictation as a medium. Dr Monteith wrestled for many years with his own and his family's incredulity about Jesus' miracles, and c...

There is a universal restlessness today among believers, young and old-unease, unhappiness, and unrest that exists in our pursuit of happiness.Unarguably we find the answer in the life and salvation of Jesus Christ. Undeniably the miracles of His virgin birth, death on the cross, and resurrection from the grave hold the key to eternal life and ultimate joy. But what if in addition to these awaited a miracle revealed in Jesus' three years of public ministry, the roughly 1,000 days that followed H...

Despite the striking frequency with which the Greek word for kyrios (Lord) occurs in Luke's Gospel, this study is the first comprehensive analysis of Luke's use of this word. Rowe offers a careful exegetical discussion of all the passages in the Gospel that use kyrios for Jesus in order to trace the complex and deliberate development in Luke's narrative of Jesus's identity as Lord. Detailed attention to Luke's artistry and use of Mark demonstrates that Luke has a nuanced and sophisticated christ...

Kennedy and Newcombe offer historical evidence to dispense with The Da Vinci Code fictions, including the assertions that the New Testament is unreliable and the deity of Christ is a fourth century invention.

The 'Christmas Story' as we know it, is derived from a mixture of carols and carol services, nativity plays, children's Bibles and paintings. The Bible itself offers two stories, each quite different from the other, not just in detail, but in tone. Neither of them is reproduced in the familiar Christmas story, and indeed, that story sometimes runs counter to the biblical text. This book, which incorporates some of the authors own stories and poems on the Christmas theme, begins by examining the...
