A Thematic Access-Oriented Bibliography of Jesus's Resurrection


Book Description

The keystone of Christianity is Jesus’s physical, bodily resurrection. Present-day scholars can be significantly challenged as they forage through voluminous documents on the resurrection of Jesus. The literature measures well over seven thousand sources in English-language books alone. This makes finding specific sources that are most relevant for specific scholarly purposes an arduous task. Even when a specific book is relevant, finding the parts of the book that are most relevant to the resurrection rather than other topics often requires additional effort. A Thematic Access-Oriented Bibliography of Jesus’s Resurrection addresses these challenges in several ways. First, the bibliography organizes more than seven thousand English sources into twelve main categories and then thirty-four subcategories, which are designed to help you find the most relevant literature quickly and efficiently. Embedded are pro and con arguments which support efficient access through brief annotations and then annotate the diversity and complexity of the field of religion by including sources that represent a diverse range of views: theistic (e.g., Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc.), agnostic, and nontheistic. The objective of this bibliography is to provide convenient access to relevant sources from a variety of perspectives, allowing you to browse or find the one source accurately and with ease.




You Are Not ONLY HUMAN


Book Description

Thus far, we have not begun to tap into our human potential. With the upsurge of Christian Mystics in this era, there is a growing revelation of who we really are in God that has a startling resemblance to who Jesus Christ was as a man walking this earth. This phenomenal spiritual awakening of epic proportions is sweeping the globe, with no indication of dissipating anytime soon. It is the emergence of the glorious church prophesied in Ephesians 5, “…without spot or wrinkle or any other blemish.” Everyone alive today, including you, has the divine privilege to choose whether to participate in this emergence or remain a slave to religious and institutionalized bondage. This book explores the possibilities that exist within our DNA that have already been discovered, and dares to explore even further possibilities hinted at but not yet experienced by most. The cold climate of ignorance has suffocated the true church of the living God long enough, and it is time to emerge. You are a child of God, not a servant and not a slave. The potential within you is equal to that of Jesus Christ, and Adam and Eve before they fell to sin. Sin has encased us within a body of limitations, weakness, and insufficiency, but God has dealt with sin. Now the only thing that separates you from true union with God, and participating in His divine nature, is your own choice.
