The Problem with Christ: Why we don't understand Jesus, His enemies, or the early Church

By Christopher Gorton

The Problem with Christ discusses how English dictionaries, Greek scholars, and common usage all treat Christ as little more than a surname for Jesus. Discover how this error in scholarship and translation has, all too often, obscured the message of the New Testament For those who love Jesus, this book will give you a fresh, stunning view of how early believers viewed Him, and the extent of meaning that is contained in believing that "Jesus is the Christ." It will also give you a new glimpse of why Jesus came, why His enemies hated Him, and why His followers died for Him. Easy to read and yet authoritative; scholarly and yet accessible, this book will leave you wondering how you could have been unaware of the problem with "Christ." But you will be delighted and-perhaps-transformed by the insight its resolution brings.
