What the gospels

John Piper

Crossway Books, 2006

Are all Christians really going to Heaven?
"I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance." ~ Luke 15:17 For Christians who take their salvation lightly, this book may shock them into reality. "What Jesus Demands from ...

So What's the Difference?

This is a great book for getting a very general idea of a few of the major religions of the world. He is a children's & youth writer so it is very basic & easy to understand. It is written from a Christian perspective so if that offends you, you may want to look ...

The Five Gospels: What Did Jesus Really Say? The Search for the AUTHENTIC Words of Jesus

Robert W. Funk

HarperOne, 1997

A Remarkable Book
Perhaps it does not occur to the casual reader of the Bible that we have gospels according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John but nothing from Jesus himself. What kind of person would we find if we discovered an original work produced by this most influential man of all ...

What Jesus Meant

Garry Wills

Viking Adult, 2006

A Refreshing Look at Jesus
Wills offers a clear-eyed Biblical view of Jesus that shuns both a romantisized image or fundamentalist view of who Jesus was and what Jesus has to say. He calls preachers and the whole Church to be accountable for offering Jesus' words with all their unexpected edge ...

The Gospel According to Jesus: What Is Authentic Faith?

John MacArthur

Zondervan, 2008

As The End Times Near
The Gospel According to Jesus: What Is Authentic Faith? I don't always care for MacArthur's writings. He seems a bit full of himself. But on this topic he is right on the spot. The church is in the process of replacing the real Jesus with a made-up non-lord of the ...

The Scandalous Gospel of Jesus: What's So Good About the Good News?

Peter J. Gomes

HarperOne, 2007

Not For the Fainthearted Christian...What's More Important? "Worshiping" Jesus or Living the Life Jesus Said to Live?
Orthodox believers, the strictly Orthodox, don't need to go here. Or maybe you should--if you are willing to think--to do what the Bible said do, "Worship the Lord Thy God with all thy heart, MIND, and strength. For those who want to think and aren't afraid to ...

What the Gospels Meant

Garry Wills

Viking Adult, 2008

Another Thought Provoking Triumph
So far in this series of books, Garry Wills has goaded our brains into comtemplating What Jesus Meant and What Paul Meant. In examining the Gospels, both the Synoptics and John, Wills moves chronologically farther away from the historical Jesus and more into the young ...

The Gospel of Food: Why We Should Stop Worrying and Enjoy What We Eat (P.S.)
Barry Glassner

Harper Perennial, 2008

For many Americans, eating is a religion. We worship at the temples of celebrity chefs. We raise our children to believe that certain foods are good and others are bad. We believe that if we eat the right foods, we will live longer, and if we eat in the right places, we will raise our social status. Yet what we believe to be true about food is, in ...

Lost In Transmission?: What We Can Know About the Words of Jesus

Nicholas Perrin

Thomas Nelson, 2008

Outstanding--a traditional scholar takes on "Misquoting Jesus"
Know anyone who lost his faith over "Misquoting Jesus", in which Ehrman claims the bible we have now has been so corrupted, so changed by hundreds of scribes, that there is no way of knowing whether or not we have the original message of Jesus? Perrin has written a ...

The Thirteenth Apostle: What the Gospel of Judas Really Says

April D. Deconick

Continuum International Publishing Group, 2007

An important part of the puzzle
