Jesus in (What?) Context - Mindi Jo Furby

Résumé :

Who was Jesus?

Why does it matter?

Our beliefs about Jesus have earthly repercussions and eternal ramifications. He is the crux of Christianity and the Stone upon whom all theology is constructed. What we believe about Jesus matters, because every worldview involves either rejection or acceptance of His Lordship.

But the context of our belief in Jesus is just as important as the belief itself. Erroneous context leads to illegitimate faith. Unfortunately, many people believe inaccurate portrayals of Jesus-lies craftily devised by the enemy to cripple Christ's followers and render them useless (or worse-harmful!) to the world. The consequences of these lies seep into the depths of our families, churches, culture, and world like a rampant plague.

This volume reveals how and why so many Christians take Jesus out of context. It also shows how we can combat that plague by pursuing Jesus accurately within the context of Scripture. The only way to fight deceit is with truth. We must know how to discern it if we want to thrive on earth as we will in heaven.
