Bøger af David Wenham

We know that Jesus changed the world, but what do we know about him? This accessible and uniquely comprehensive introduction examines the evidence, the sources and different scholars' views. It argues that we know a surprising amount, and offers a coherent and well-informed picture of Jesus in his context.

Was St Paul a distorter of Jesus' original message, or a faithful follower? Over recent years some critics of Christianity have claimed that while Jesus was a gifted teacher and a man of unparalleled kindness, St Paul was the true founder of Christianity, which he based on a delusional mistake: the idea that Jesus was God. This theory has found its way into academia, churches, newspapers, and, most recently, novels. In Did St Paul Get Jesus Right? respected New Testament scholar David Wenham looks at the historical evidence for such claims. Comparing the life and message of Jesus with the writings of St Paul, he offers a thoughtful exploration of their relationship, concluding that far from imagining Christianity, Paul was the messenger of an inherited faith.

Examining the parables of Jesus within their historical setting, David Wenham offers a fresh understanding of Jesus' world-changing, heart-challenging message.
