Was Jesus God? has been written to be read in tandem with, or as a follow on to, Swinburne’s earlier, and just revised, work: Is There A God?. It is designed to take the argument further than that: if it can be philosophically proved that there is indeed a strong probability that God exists, then can the Bible’s accounts of Jesus be coherently argued to confirm that Jesus’, and the early church’s, claims that he was indeed God incarnate? Swinburne, a highly respected philosopher, has written many books on the philosophy of religious belief. His books may be unfamiliar to many Christian readers and his style a real challenge to follow but this is a title that can be recommended to any serious reader who wants another viewpoint of the validity of their Christian faith. Many would consider Swinburne to be on the liberal end of the spectrum who has not developed a philosophical understanding and explanation of the miracles etc but this book is still excellent reading for most serious readers including those with a more evangelical or fundamentalist viewpoint.
