The title of this book Jesus Was Not A Christian will startle thousands of Christians throughout the world. To devout Christians such an opinion of Jesus is contrary to the traditional potrayal by clergymen. To the Christians, Jesus Christ was all that they think the Gospels say he was, the founder of Christianity, the God incarnate Messiah, conceived by the virgin Mary and dedicated to spreading the message of the salvation to the Gentiles... the most startling fact that I have uncovered from my study of the New Testament... is not describing one man when it refers to Jesus. The first Jesus appeared at the beginning of the first century... Jesus considered himself to be a descendant of the house of the King of David, and that he was the God Sent King of the Jewish people, the Messiah, a title which when translated from the Greek means 'Christos' or Christ, roughly corresponding to the Hebrew 'Anointed One'. This was the 'Jesus of History'... The second Jesus never lived. He is a composite and more often contradictory personality who is described in the new Testament as God the Son Incarnate. The is the Jesus who is credited with founding the Christian Church. He is the product of falsifications, misunderstandings, epileptic seizures of Paul of Tarsus... Historians have come to call this character the 'Jesus of Theology'... Concerning the rise of Christianity Christians are absolutely ignorant... In the early Church martyrdom and sainthood were not of the slightest importance to its development... What did the closest associates of Jesus think about him? What effect did the Jewish War have on Christian origins? What part did criminal forgery play in Christian history?... More questions will be answered with no holds barred...

Who was Jesus--really? For centuries, the Christian church has taught that Jesus is the divine Son of God, crucified for sinners and raised from the dead. In recent years, however, that picture of Jesus has come under widely publicized attack from sources ranging from critical scholars to Internet pundits to popular historians and others. The new portraits of Jesus seem persuasive. You can't help but wonder . . . Did Christianity merely copy its beliefs from earlier mythology? Did the church suppress alternate gospels? Did Jesus never die on the cross or rise from the dead for sinners? Is the New Testament hopelessly riddled with errors? New York Times bestselling author Lee Strobel helps you separate truth from media hype, sound scholarship from bias, and fact from speculation. Digging below the surface, this book provides credible, informed answers to today's most pressing questions about Jesus.

L. Michael White, one of the world’s foremost scholars on the origins of Christianity, provides the complete, astonishing story of how Christianity grew from the personal vision of a humble Jewish peasant living in a remote province of the Roman Empire into the largest organized religion in the world. Rather than reading the New Testament straight through in its traditional, or “canonical” order, From Jesus to Christianity takes a historical approach. Looking at the individual books chronologically, in the sequence in which they were actually written, readers can see what they divulge about the disagreements, shared values, and unifying mission of the earliest Christian communities. White digs through layers of archaeological excavations, sifts through buried fragments of largely unknown texts, and examines historical sources to discover what we can know of Jesus.

A new approach to the early history of Christianity to the fourth century. Beginning with a revealing study of God's purpose for the Jews and for mankind. It explores in depth the origins of religion and the virtually unknown (unmentioned) conflict between the destiny of Rome from Virgil and the destiny of the Jews from the Bible. A detailed examination of the civil laws of the Jews is contrasted with traditional religions, giving remarkable new insights into the beliefs and practices of the first Hebrew Christians. It explores the unlikely conversion of Constantine, the surprising true origin of his amazing sign and it's role in the restoration of his church. To understand Constantine and his church, we need to understand Virgil. The book then questions how far the church adopted Christianity as the earliest disciples knew it, and how far the early faith was knowingly replaced by Constantine's religion, and why. It explores the conflict between discipleship and church as two distinct systems, one chosen by Jesus, the other a long standing Roman tradition. It re-examines the life and teachings of Jesus based on a Hebrew perspective and the relevance of Christianity today and provides an outline for tomorrow based on the hitherto unknown teachings of the early disciples. It also takes a compelling new look at the question of the divinity of Christ in the light of Hebrew beliefs in contrast to the influence of Virgil. Along the way, the book discusses a number of crucial themes, such as the real identity of Joseph Arimathea, the other name of John the Baptist, and the possibility that Jesus was known by several different names in his own time. It also reviews (and answers fully) the new persecution of Christianity, the church D state question, and the many new theories and criticisms aimed against Christianity in the post modern world.

Jesus is the center of Christian faith and the Bible is its holy book, its sacred scriptures. For hundreds of years, this meant that Jesus was divine and the Bible was a divine product. This remains the primary perspective for many Christians today. However, it has mutated appreciably for others. It is not that Jesus is no longer thought of as the center of Christian faith or the Bible as Christianity's sacred scriptures. Those remain true for everyone. However, studies in biblical criticism and the historical Jesus suggest Jesus was a Palestinian Jew a human being -- not different in that respect from you and me. Divinity was bestowed upon him by his followers, and eventually took the form of imperial divinity after the example of Caesar. This presents a conundrum for Christianity. What, for instance, is Christianity to do with a human being at its center? How has Christianity accommodated imperial rule? What do we do with those imperial titles by which he is known Lord, Savior, Redeemer, and Son of God? Taking Caesar out of Jesus presents a new portrait of Jesus based on solid historical evidence assembled from the works of hundreds of critical biblical scholars. As the subtitle proclaims, Jesus emerges from this book as a new figure, relevant to the 21st century. Some will say this new perspective destroys Christianity. Others will find Jesus to be far more believable and compelling. Anyone will find this progressive approach to uncovering the historical Jesus thought-provoking. This book, however, goes beyond biblical criticism and a new portrait of the historical Jesus. It confronts the Christian proclamation that Jesus is humanity's savior including the notion that it needs a savior. It suggests that the historical Jesus never embraced the well-known notion of divine salvation. To the contrary, Jesus embraced Judaism's wisdom tradition. In the wisdom tradition, a person deals with the exigencies of life by developing a new vision of reality, and by acting differently. Jesus did not provide an instruction manual for living; rather, he pointed us in the direction of self-management. As described in this book, this new way of living, taken from Jesus's parables and aphorisms, will startle some, and stir others toward greater maturity and responsibility for their own lives.

What is a “JEMI”? The word “JEMI” came from the first 2 letters of the word JESUS and the first 2 letters of the word MISSION. JEMI is not an organization of religious people coming together every Sunday to sing, dance, and listen to the so-called word of God in exchange for money called tithes and donations. Rather, JEMI is a class of people who commit themselves to the Mission of Jesus of bringing life to the world in a way where those who need help will be helped, as those who can help shall help, loving their neighbors as they love themselves, all done not with an expectation of a reward of salvation or of going to heaven, but only for the fullest glorification of our Father in Heaven through his only Son Jesus Christ. And what is “CHRISTIANITY?” CHRISTIANITY is the religion of Paul, not of Jesus. It follows to the letter all the teachings of Paul which unfortunately run counter with the teachings of Jesus. This book presents: “THE CHRISTIANITY OF PAUL VERSUS THE JEMI OF JESUS.” Happy reading!

If you would like to read many reasons for admiring and loving Jesus, then this is the book for you! If you admire and love Jesus but have difficulty identifying yourself as a Christian or have difficulty joining a church because of problems with this or that aspect of Christianity, then this is a book for you, too! Among other things, Love of Jesus points out that Jesus accepted and even encouraged doubters. Important as scholarship is, Love of Jesus is not a scholarly book. Rather, it reaches out to lay people, believers, and non-believers. It takes at face value a wide range of New Testament stories about Jesus and asks of them why we should admire and love the man who inspired them. Then, hoping it has inspired the reader to admire and love Jesus-or to admire and love him even more-Love of Jesus offers answers to the questions, "How should we follow him?" and "How should we relate to one another as Christians when we have different understandings of Christianity?"
