Historical Christ

John Owen is widely regarded as one of the most influential English Puritans. As a pastor, he longed to see the glory of Christ take root in people’s lives. As a writer, he continues to encourage us toward discipline and communion with God. His high view of God and deep theological convictions flowed naturally into practical application and a zeal for personal holiness. Barrett and Haykin guide us through the seventeenth-century theologian’s life and doctrine, giving us a glimpse into the majestic vision that served as the foundation for his approach to the Christian life.

Drawing on both a wide range of scholarship as well as his own acute searching as a believer, Carroll takes a fresh look at the most familiar narratives of all - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Not simply another book about the "historical Jesus," he takes the challenges of science and contemporary philosophy seriously, even as he retrieves the power of Jesus' profound ordinariness, as an answer to his own last question - what is the future of Jesus Christ? - as the key to a renewal of faith.

For centuries the Ottoman Empire committed atrocities while swarming through Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Central Europe and others. Greece was also one of the barbarians' targets. Turks shed the blood of the innocent throughout all of Greece without any hesitation. Men, women, elderly even children were submitted to the horrifying torments of the barbaric Ottoman armies. One of these children was Constantine Morphis later named Ephraim. His innocence and his love for Christ led him through the most difficult times but also to triumph.

Joshua Ben-Yosef attracts a huge following. He was born in Nazareth to parents named Mary and Joseph and speaks more than a dozen languages—fluently and without accent. His words ripple with wisdom and authority. And the crowds that follow him are enthralled as he heals the sick, gives sight to the blind, casts out demons, and even raises the dead. Is Dr. Merton, the well-known leader and author of end-times books, correct about the return of Christ?

Nothing lifts our spirits and brings us peace, as does hearing the good news of great joy, which is for all people—and that is the miraculous birth of our Savior. In recent years, you have noticed a shocking failure on the part of pastors to bring forth this good news. The Incarnation. Angelic visitations. Kings and wise men seeking and worshipping the newborn Babe. God wrapped in human flesh! Everyone involved rejoicing exceedingly at the hearing of it! Of a truth, it is one of three Great Events of history. Yet today the church avoids it. Avoids celebrating and sharing His triumphant ...

The life of Christ is an exhaustless theme. It reveals a character of greater massiveness than the hills, of a more serene beauty than the stars, of sweeter fragrance than the flowers, higher than the heavens in sublimity and deeper than the seas in mystery. As good Jean Paul has eloquently said, “It concerns Him who, being the holiest among the mighty, and the mightiest among the holy, lifted with His pierced hands empires off their hinges, turned the stream of centuries out of its channels, and still governs the ages.” Christ in history is undoubtedly more marvelous than Christ in ...
