Vintage Jesus: Timeless Answers to Timely Questions (Re:Lit:Vintage Jesus)

Some two thousand years after he walked the earth, Jesus Christ is still a controversial figure. While misdirected speculation and lies about Jesus have permeated popular culture and even the academy over the years, the truth about his character, nature, and work has not changed. So what exactly is the truth about Jesus Christ?

That’s the question the authors of Vintage Jesus answer by looking at a number of sub-questions about Jesus, including “Is Jesus the only God?” “Why did Jesus come to earth?” “Did Jesus rise from death?” “Why should we worship Jesus?” and others.

Through Scripture, illustrations, and carefully formed arguments, Driscoll and Breshears present the Jesus Christ of the Bible as the sinless Son of God, at once fully human and fully divine, and our substitutionary atonement.

Nonbelievers and new Christians will find solid, biblical answers to their most honest, difficult questions about Jesus, presented in a relevant and accessible way. Now in paperback.
