Knowing Jesus

This classic book asks what it is to know Jesus. It will enable thinking Christians to ask new questions about their faith, their reading of the New Testament, and the theology of redemption.

In this unique devotional, readers will find more than just pious platitudes to start the day. They'll ponder the question of what Jesus has to say to his followers living in a deeply troubled and hurting world. They'll explore some of his most important teachings. And they'll see how Jesus calls each of us to embrace his message and make it come alive in our lives. Anyone looking for a renewed passion for Jesus's message and a deeper understanding of his life will find both here.

We cannot know Jesus without knowing his story. Today the debate over who Jesus is rages on. Has the Bible bound Christians to a narrow and mistaken notion of Jesus? Should we listen to other gospels, other sayings of Jesus, that enlarge and correct a mistaken story? Is the real Jesus entangled in a web of the church's Scripture, awaiting liberation from our childhood faith so he might speak to our contemporary pluralistic world? To answer these questions we need to know what story Jesus claimed for himself. Christopher Wright is convinced that Jesus' own story is rooted in the story of Israel. In this revised and updated book he traces the life of Christ as it is illuminated by the Old Testament. And he describes God's design for Israel as it is fulfilled in the story of Jesus.

Knowing Jesus has 60 important questions about who Jesus is, and why He died for us on the cross. The answers to these questions will help believers to understand Jesus better, and grow in their faith.The beautiful classic designed hardcover and elegant gold foiled accents make this an exquisite gift book for anyone in your life.
