The main purpose for writing this booklet is to reach those who believe in God and cause them to reflect on the nature of their beliefs in the light of reason and revelation. The booklet is actually the edited version of a lecture, which I have delivered on many occasions and in many locations around the world. The positive response of the varied audiences to this lecture encouraged me to prepare it as a booklet in order to make it accessible to a wider audience. I sincerely hope that readers will find the thoughts and discussions in this short booklet useful in their personal quest for God, because ultimately, there is nothing more important in this world than to find God and to live according to His Will.
How Jesus Became God

New York Times bestselling author and Bible expert Bart Ehrman reveals how Jesus’s divinity became dogma in the first few centuries of the early church. The claim at the heart of the Christian faith is that Jesus of Nazareth was, and is, God. But this is not what the original disciples believed during Jesus’s lifetime—and it is not what Jesus claimed about himself. How Jesus Became God tells the story of an idea that shaped Christianity, and of the evolution of a belief that looked very different in the fourth century than it did in the first. A master explainer of Christian history, texts, and traditions, Ehrman reveals how an apocalyptic prophet from the backwaters of rural Galilee crucified for crimes against the state came to be thought of as equal with the one God Almighty, Creator of all things. But how did he move from being a Jewish prophet to being God? In a book that took eight years to research and write, Ehrman sketches Jesus’s transformation from a human prophet to the Son of God exalted to divine status at his resurrection. Only when some of Jesus’s followers had visions of him after his death—alive again—did anyone come to think that he, the prophet from Galilee, had become God. And what they meant by that was not at all what people mean today. Written for secular historians of religion and believers alike, How Jesus Became God will engage anyone interested in the historical developments that led to the affirmation at the heart of Christianity: Jesus was, and is, God.

The incarnation--the act of God assuming mortal flesh through Jesus Christ--reveals God's radical love for a world marked by the rebellion of the created against their creator. God becomes human to create life and restore the disrupted divine-human relationship. This doctrine is thus the theme of the Christian faith par excellence. However, the incarnation does not begin with its ultimate realization in Jesus Christ; that single event is preceded by a long history of a God who continually reunites with his people to lead them from death to life, from bondage to freedom. God Becoming Human pursues the astonishing arc of the incarnation, chronicling the varying ways Scripture recounts the divide between God and the creatures of his likeness as well as the diverse expressions the text gives regarding the desire for reconciliation. As the expectations of an existing intermediary that can somehow bridge this gap between God and humans dwindle throughout the Old Testament, hope is increasingly placed on new forms of closeness to God. The closeness made possible by Jesus Christ receives a wide range of interpretations by New Testament witnesses and is continued by a rich chorus that culminates in the early church with the theology of the incarnation. Reinhard Feldmeier and Hermann Spieckermann invite readers to see that the doctrine of the incarnation, the pinnacle of the scriptural saga of redemption, reveals that God's ultimate purpose in dealing with creation was to become human. As narrated in the story of the fall, if paradise was lost because humanity wanted to emulate God, the one reconciled with God through Christ is now given the opportunity--and challenge--to become a child of God. In accordance with the One who descended from the heavenly throne, one must precisely lower oneself and thus fully embrace one's created humanness. It is through the flesh that the created and their creator are joined; there is no other path to unity.

"From beginning to end, Scripture unveils from shadow to reality that Jesus is God the Son incarnate." Some people think of Jesus as a great prophet or a wise philosopher; others see him as an important religious leader or even a revolutionary. In this addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology series, Stephen Wellum challenges these claims as he argues for the divinity of Jesus according to Scripture and in line with creedal Christianity. In this brief introduction, we are invited to rejoice in the centrality of Christ—who as both God and man reconciles us to God.

Have you ever been confronted with the questions, Can God become a man? Is not incarnation a violation of the natural law? The Christian says incarnation is the pulsating beat of the heart of Christianity and that God became a man, yet the formidable question is, how? Has theology or science found a solution? The historical Jesus of Nazareth is arguably the most influential person ever to walk on the face of the planet Earth. For the past 2000 years, thousands of books have been written about Him, and yet, no book has been written about the mechanism by which the eternally existing God - the Christ - became Jesus, the Man in the Flesh. This book precisely explains this mystery by looking through the prism of the scientific discipline of genetics. In this book, you will: ● Discover how science (genetics) has already shown what the Scriptures have promised. ● Gain scientific understanding about how God became a man. ● Understand the scientific basis for the phrase, "Word Became Flesh." ● Acquire scientific knowledge that will revitalize your spiritual life and empower you to defend your faith. Sam Rose is a former senior post-doctoral research scientist at Columbia University, New York and a research fellow at Rutgers University, New Jersey (University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey). He spent more than fifteen years studying the intricacies of the immune system. His genetic research has focused on the role of HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) genes in human autoimmune diseases and HIV/AIDS. In 2000 he was struck by an insidious illness and confronted by the last visitor, but God preserved him for a unique purpose. Since then, he has been examining the relevance of science (genetics) and theology with particular emphasis on Christianity. After 18 years of clinical trials, he lives to tell one of the greatest mysteries God has revealed to mankind. He holds a Ph.D. in Immunogenetics from AIIMS (All India Inst of Med Sciences, New Delhi India). He is the Founder and President of Incarnate Word International. He lives with his wife Shelonitda Rose and children.
