Sinful human depravity flourishes underneath the bright lights of Las Vegas. In a town where the Seven Deadly Sins govern business can any man's faith survive in a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah? For most this would be the last place that a person would go to look for God. But for author Richard Brodhagen, Sin City is where God found him. In "Finding God in Sin City" Richard Brodhagen goes through a journey that takes him into the worlds of Atheism, Agnosticism, Paganism, Buddhism, Islam, Mormonism, Protestantism, and then finally Catholicism. This book will not only cover one man's conversion from Atheism to Catholicism, it will also guide any Christian to a deeper understanding of their faith. Through the use of Sacred Scripture and the writings of the early Church Fathers, this book will introduce you to the world of Catholic Apologetics. No matter where you are on your journey of faith, Finding God in Sin City will strengthen your beliefs with the universal language of truth. As Richard Brodhagen found on his journey, if God can be found in Sin City, He can be found anywhere.

Did Jesus claim to be the "bridegroom"? If so, what did he mean by this claim? When Jesus says that the wedding guests should not fast "while the bridegroom is with them" (Mark 2:19), he is claiming to be a bridegroom by intentionally alluding to a rich tradition from the Hebrew Bible. By eating and drinking with "tax collectors and other sinners," Jesus was inviting people to join him in celebrating the eschatological banquet. While there is no single text in the Hebrew Bible or the literature of the Second Temple Period which states the "messiah is like a bridegroom," the elements for such a claim are present in several texts in Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Hosea. By claiming that his ministry was an ongoing wedding celebration he signaled the end of the Exile and the restoration of Israel to her position as the Lord's beloved wife. This book argues that Jesus combined the tradition of an eschatological banquet with a marriage metaphor in order to describe the end of the Exile as a wedding banquet.
