In writing this profoundly moving and illuminating account of Jesus Christ, his ministry and his death and Resurrection, David Lewis has drawn primarily on Mark, the earliest Gospel writer. He has endeavoured to fill in the chronological gaps in Jesus' life, and in painting a portrait of him as a living, breathing, drinking sociable being, has relied on non-canonical scriptures and other sources, as well as his own vivid imagination.

Produktbeschreibung
In writing this profoundly moving and illuminating account of Jesus Christ, his ministry and his death and Resurrection, David Lewis has drawn primarily on Mark, the earliest Gospel writer. He has endeavoured to fill in the chronological gaps in Jesus' life, and in painting a portrait of him as a living, breathing, drinking sociable being, has relied on non-canonical scriptures and other sources, as well as his own vivid imagination. Our initial meeting with Jesus places him in our minds as a man. Yet he was chosen by God, says the author, to demonstrate in practice what God's eternal nature and purpose is. So we come face to face with a man of tremendous charm and charisma - and humour - who electrifies people with his words, his gifts and his healing powers. His words, even in printed form, clutch at the core of one's emotional and intellectual being. The modern English phrasing reveals the author's own gifts as a former preacher. It lifts the veil. Theologically, 'The Real Jesus?' presents an interesting conundrum. Jesus, it claims, was not God, nor merely man. He was the Messiah, chosen by God and not part of a mysterious triple identity, as the Christian Church later resolved at Nicea and Chalcedon. He was simply unique. In these pages we meet a very special man indeed, a man of God, whose death and triumphant Resurrection proclaimed God's kingdom for us all.
Autorenporträt
This book has been a true amalgam of cooperation between Debra Head, Vaughn-Marie Rodriguez, Alexis Lewis, and me over a multiyear period. Debra Head, a long-time friend, editor, consummate English teacher, and mentor has worked with me through the years to develop my writing style and polish the dull areas. Her expertise is well known among the local area educators as a teacher and expert on the English Language. I would not publish one word without her first giving me the nod. Vaughn-Marie is my cousin and a first-rate editor. Her many insights and edits to this manuscript have been instrumental in helping this true collaboration to become a 'great read.' Her strong persistent Christian faith has encouraged mine and Debra's as well during this arduous journey of our own. To her I give my undying gratitude and hope she will continue to work with me on my upcoming projects. Alexis Lewis, my oldest daughter, has been tremendous help with the technology, cover design, and artwork. Her skills have been significantly useful in overcoming some of the more difficult aspects of creating a book of this nature and bringing it to readers as a polished and professional looking book. To her I give my undying love and admiration and hope she will also work with me in more upcoming titles.
