WHY JESUS CHRIST IS NOT GOD is a comprehensive examination of one of the most important questions in religious history: was Jesus of Nazareth actually God?
Rather than relying on a few familiar proof texts, this book examines the issue from multiple angles-Biblical, historical, theological, philosophical, linguistic, and scientific. The book looks closely at Jesus' prayers to God, his statements of dependence and limited knowledge, his relationship to the Father, the titles used for him, the strongest New Testament passages used to support his divinity, the development of the Trinity and Incarnation, and the history of Christian doctrine from the earliest believers to Nicaea and Chalcedon.
The book also presents the strongest Christian arguments fairly before responding to them. It avoids simplistic claims, weak caricatures, and internet-level polemics. Instead, it asks whether the cumulative evidence better supports Jesus as God incarnate or as the Messiah, servant, prophet, and uniquely commissioned human representative of God.
Written in clear and accessible language, WHY JESUS CHRIST IS NOT GOD is intended for Christians, Muslims, Unitarians, skeptics, students of religion, and anyone willing to examine the identity of Jesus with an open and critical mind.
