Description
A Logos Association Best Book award winner Everyone has something to say about Jesus. Sorting through the numerous books of recent years, you may find yourself lost in a thicket of viewpoints, some troubling to faith, some puzzling to the intellect. But John Stott, one of the outstanding evangelical voices of the last half century, offers in The Incomparable Christ an enriching vision of Jesus that defies measurement. In this newly Americanized, paperback edition Stott invites you to show more view Jesus from four perspectives: The Original Jesus: How the New Testament witnesses to Jesus in the Gospels, Acts and the Letters The Ecclesiastical Jesus: How the church has presented Jesus historically, from Justin Martyr, Benedict and Anselm, to Thomas a Kempis, Martin Luther and Thomas Jefferson, to Gustavo Guitie rrez, N. T. Wright, and the Edinburgh and Lausanne missionary confessions of the twentieth century The Influential Jesus: How people from St. Francis to Tolstoy, from Gandhi to Roland Allen, from Father Damien to William Wilberforce have taken inspiration from him The Eternal Jesus: How he continually challenges today's men and women through ten visions from the book of Revelation. This is the Jesus who is like no other--worthy of your worship, your confession and your obedience as you follow him into the future. show lessTags

An excellent book written by the well respected John Stott. This book focuses on Jesus: how the New testament witnesses to him, how the church has presented him and how he has inspired people eg William Wilberforce. A fascinating book but probably one suited to the student rather than just casual readers.

In diesem Buch geht John Stott sehr tiefgründig auf den Kreuzestod Christi ein. Er macht auf anspruchsvolle und dennoch verständliche Art klar, welch großartige Bedeutung das Kreuz hat. Hochinteressant geht Stott auf sämtliche Fragen zu diesem Thema ein.

"Por que Sou Cristão" mostra que a resposta para o paradoxo existente no coração humano e a chave para a verdadeira liberdade e plenitude só podem ser encontradas em Cristo. E Ele faz o maior dos convites a cada um de nós e espera pacientemente a nossa resposta.
