Notes

'Jesus certainly existed. His existence as an historical figure is vouched for by pagan as well as Christian writers,' says John Stott.

Who was Jesus? Why was he crucified? Did he really rise from the dead?

    Average rating of0.0

    Have you ever wondered who Jesus was? Why He was crucified? Did He really rise from the dead? These key questions need to be answered so that we can understand Christianity, and John Stott seeks to explain our Biblical understanding more fully. This well-written book is an informative self-help guide to those of us searching for comfort in these credit crunch times. It was such a relief to be reminded that Jesus existed not only to release us from our sins, but to spread the Good News! Nothing is as important as furthering our knowledge of Him, and to do that properly Stott starts off exploring fundamental issues like acknowledging Jesus’ divinity and considering evidence that He was the Son of God. I love astutely argued texts like this.
