Belief in Christ (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book embarks on a profound exploration of the historical and theological underpinnings of Christian belief, particularly the understanding of Jesus Christ. The author delves into the Jewish intellectual and spiritual landscape that shaped early Christian thought, contrasting it with the prevailing Greco-Roman worldviews. The book meticulously examines the evolution of belief in Jesus, tracing its roots from the initial recognition of Jesus as the Christ to the later doctrines of his divinity and incarnation as the Son of God. The author contends that the early Church's firm grounding in Jewish monotheism prevented the deification of Jesus in the manner of Greco-Roman deities, instead leading to a unique understanding of his divine nature. Central to the book's investigation is the concept of the Kingdom of God, a pivotal theme in Jewish thought. The author analyzes the development of this idea from its Old Testament origins to its expression in the teachings of Jesus and the early Church. The exploration extends to the influence of apocalyptic literature, such as the Book of Enoch, on the understanding of Jesus as the Son of Man. Through a comprehensive analysis of historical, theological, and literary evidence, this book provides valuable insights into the origins and development of Christian belief, shedding light on the enduring questions surrounding the person of Jesus Christ and his significance in human history.
