Synopsis

Nothing except the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is a greater miracle or wonder in human history. God becoming flesh in human history is the greatest marvel. Jesus of Nazareth was foretold in the Torah and the Prophets centuries before his appearance and he was proved to be real and not a pretender due to his death and Resurrection. The early church grappled with all of this intellectually. Many heresies were confronted, answered, and dismissed. Throughout the 2000 plus years of church history, many of the early church heresies have reappeared over and over again. Whether you are Catholic or Protestant the answers are from the Word of God.

In his day, he was known as The Black Dwarf, and to the heret......more

Goodreads review by ladydusk on December 30, 2024

This was not what I expected for an Advent read, but it was a wonderful one nonetheless. The Incarnation changes everything about how we approach life, learning, thought, practice: For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gent......more
