Ebooks Online

What really happened back in the first century, in Jerusalem and around the Sea of Galilee, that changed the shape of world history? Who is this figure that emerges from history to have a profound impact on culture, ethics, politics, and philosophy? Join historian John Dickson on this journey through the life of Jesus. This book, which features a self-contained discussion guide for use with Life of Jesus DVD, will help you and your friends dig deeper into what is known about Jesus’ life and why it matters. “John Dickson has done a marvelous job of presenting the story of Jesus, and the full meaning of that story, in a way that is both deeply faithful to the biblical sources and refreshingly relevant to tomorrow's world and church. I strongly recommend this study to anyone who wants to re-examine the deep historical roots of Christian faith and to find them as life-giving as they ever were.”—Tom Wright

It is with the Life of Jesus documentary that I am reminded of how the Gospels in the New Testament are entirely set apart from all other religious texts.In this wonderful six-session journey done on location in Israel, John Dickson explores the world of the historical Jesus of Nazareth. Dickson's presentation is a reminder that there are no rivals to biblical scholarship. The case for Jesus has never been stronger than it is today.Unlike other sacred writings making truth claims, the Gospels are not merely a collection of proverbial adages. Instead, they are biographical portraits of Jesus rooted in human history. And the historical background that Dickson sets forth brings the Gospel narratives to life.Life of Jesus explores what is known about the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus in the context of first-century Palestine.Dickson even addresses personal issues and philosophical objections along the way with fellow scholar, Greg Clarke. There are 25 extra conversations that deal with those objections and clarify the message of Jesus.Session titles include the following:- God's Signpost- Christos- Kingdom Come- Judge & Friend- Cross Examination- The ResurrectionDickson's Life of Jesus is a refreshing look at the historical Jesus in 150 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised by the intellectual and spiritual balance of this documentary. Dickson's presentation will be helpful for skeptics, and challenging to the fundamentalist and the liberal alike."I strongly recommend this study to anyone who wants to re-examine the deep historical roots of Christian faith and to find them as life-giving as they ever were."
