Who was Jesus? Historical sources portray a person who was complex, multi-layered, and often contradictory to the tidy portrait that much of modern Christianity paints him as. Even the gospel accounts render him as both judge and healer, teacher and temple, servant and savior. A Doubter's Guide to Jesus is a persuasive and often challenging investigation into the historical figure found in the earliest sources. These sources, which include references both direct and indirect - from Roman, Jewish, and Christian accounts - offer us more than simple evidence that Jesus existed.

It reminds believers, both then and now, that true spiritual life is not found in mere adherence to religious rules but in a dynamic, grace-filled relationship with Jesus Christ. In Rooted in Grace, we will journey through Paul’s inspired words to explore the ...

I find over and over again in this letter, encouragement from the Apostle, who is fanning the flame of faith that once burned brightly in Timothy.
