Both skeptics and believers want the truth about the man who claimed to be God. Renowned scholar Dr. Erwin Lutzer provides the ultimate answers. Drawing on decades of rigorous Bible study and teaching experience, he examines six widely-held beliefs about Jesus Christ—untruths that have even infiltrated even the church—and counters them with facts. The fabrications include: The family tomb of Jesus was discovered Jesus escaped the crucifixion Jesus wanted and needed Judas to betray him Jesus was just a man Jesus is one way among many to God Jesus has a dark secret Using clear logic and historical evidence, Dr. Lutzer explains how these lies sprouted and grew, gives readers deeper insight into the true character and qualities of Jesus, and equips readers to identify and expose lies that demean him.

SLANDER IS NOTHING LESS THAN MURDER- MURDERING SOMEONE WITH WORDS! We, the common people, come across slander and libel very often these days with the advent of internet, social-networking sites, forums and blogs. It seems like people lost their ability to "think" before they speak or type anything harmful. It is not hush-hush secret gossips or private friendly "banters" anymore (which is equally sick and disgusting) but it is aired in public where it reaches almost everyone we know. Slanderers are mainly losers who lead loser lives. They are immature, envious, pessimistic attention-seekers who are desperate, unhappy and have a whole lot of mental conditions. Slander causes confusion, anger, shock, trauma, hurt, humiliation, stress, anxiety and depression to the victim and their loved ones. It is a crime and a deadly sin. The most painful thing is when someone who claims to be a Christian slanders a person with lies and assumptions. Christians who are slandered by other "Christians" is traumatized as it is confusing and unexpected to be attacked by someone of your own kind. But are those monsters really of your own kind? Do parts of the same body viz. Christ hurt each other? This book aims to show who a slanderer really is. They are NOT Christians. Understanding about the enemy's true color brings peace as truth will set you free. I know that I will be attacked by the so-called Christians who wants to justify their actions or hobbies of slandering. I don't care. All I want to do is to reach out to those who are being slandered. God bless you. -Sandra Houston

Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met Him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ - the divine Person revealed in the Bible - has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, He will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do His will, and you will see the truth of His Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.

In a period where Christianity was only beginning to form a definitive identity, Marcion played a remarkable and generative role. Andrew Hayes takes the measure of his impact on second-century Christianity through a close examination of the topics and structure of Justin Martyr’s writings, especially the Dialogue with Trypho, demonstrating that Justin repeatedly described Christianity in a contra-Marcionite fashion. Arguing that the early part of the Dialogue is in fact a contra-Marcionite prelude to all the major themes in the rest of the piece, Hayes claims that the chief task Justin took for himself was to seize back from Marcion the terms of Christian self-definition. Marcion is thus far more important for Justin’s work than the few places where he is explicitly named might suggest, and Hayes shows that these texts are far from anomalous: they reveal Justin’s deeper agenda of presenting Marcion as a demonic instrument. Students of the second century, of Marcion and of Justin alike, will find much to reevaluate in these pages.

What do you get when you cross classical Hebrew with Koine Greek? It may sound like the metaphor for a strange new animal, but what it imparts is a fascinating dive into the Bible that’s rarely—if ever—been attempted before. In Hebrew versus Greek: A Devotional Study of Scripture Through Two Lenses, Hebrew scholar Chaim Bentorah and Greek scholar Chris Palmer explore fifty concepts from the Septuagint or LXX and explain the subtle differences found in Hebrew and Greek. You will discover how: God’s repentance over creating man benefits us Trusting in God binds us to His divine power God’s command to “fear not” gives us the authority to be courageous Saying there is no God is like walking through fog God embraces us with His strength in the dance of life The authors note that the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls has convinced many Bible scholars of the accuracy of the Septuagint. “This offers a whole new dimension to our understanding of the Old Testament and the importance of using the Greek Septuagint to explain some difficult passages,” Chaim notes. Hebrew versus Greek will draw you closer to the Lord through simple devotional lessons that explore the rich meanings found in these ancient languages.
