DESCRIPTION:
Nor will I quote proof-texts to show that he is divine. There would indeed be a history, a literature that would interest people according to their tastes; but there would be no heart-changing, world-up-lifting system of vital and vitalizing truths and corresponding duties, binding upon the conscience of every human being and inspiring hope in every breast. The first question to ask is this: Did such a person as Jesus is described to have been ever really exist? Did Jesus really live in Nazareth and work in Joseph’s shop? Did he, for some three years and six months, go to and fro among men teaching them? Was there, in the days of Herod and Pilate, a Jesus as surely as there was a Cæsar?. It will not be assumed that the little books called “gospels” were inspired at all. You will not be asked to consider any miracle, said to have been performed by Jesus, as making proof of his divinity. If it could be demonstrably proved that there never existed such a person as Jesus, Christianity, as a living force, would cease from the earth. Who and what was Jesus of Nazareth? In

Haygood's Man of Galilee is a profound argument about the uniqueness of Jesus. --Homer HaileyIn establishing the deity of Jesus there is no fact more outstanding and no stone more solid than Jesus Himself as presented by the Gospel records. Mr. The reader will find the book interesting, factual, and logically arranged, as the author builds his case for the supernatural Christ.

He makes his case by considering who the gospel writers were, and Jesus' words, plans, worldview, and life to show that Jesus could be none other than the Christ, the Son of Go. An Old Text with a Fresh Argument Too often circular reasoning is used in order to defend the divinity of Jesus. A conversation might resemble the following:How do you know Jesus is the son of God? Because the Bible says so.How do you know the Bible is accurate? Because Jesus said it was inspired.Why should I trust what Jesus had to say? Because Jesus is the son of God.I think the problem of logic is fairly obvious.Over the past few years there have been some great books written that help people with their faith on the subject of who and what Jesus is. Most notably is Lee Strobel. His ". "A tried and true case for Christ" according to Anonymous. There are many religious books that manage to lose their relevance or clarity just years after they are written. However, more than a century after its original publishing, Haygood's Man of Galilee is not one of those books. The fact that a book can remain convincing and relevant after so long is a testament to the compelling power of the author's logic. The book is fairly brief, but every chapter is packed with helpful information on the subject. Haygood's case from the gospels for the historicity, uniqueness, and divinity of the character of Jesus Chr
