Whether Jesus was really the Son of God or not is a central question for Christians -- and one that has provoked heated debate since the time of Jesus' birth. Dean L. Overman examines the earliest Christian records to build a compelling case for the divinity of Jesus. Addressing questions raised by books such as Bart Ehrman's Misquoting Jesus and Elaine Pagels' The Gnostic Gospels, Overman builds a carefully reasoned case for Jesus truly being the Son of God. - Publisher.

Book Details
Table of Contents
Introduction : I will examine evidence concerning Jesus of Nazareth because of the uniqueness of the claims associated with his life and death
Worship patterns in the very earliest church indicate an immediate veneration of Jesus as divine following his crucifixion
In the Synoptic and Johannine gospels, Jesus used the term "I Am" (ego eimi), words that function as the name of God in the first century; hence his conviction for blasphemy in his trial before the Sanhedrin
Reliability of the canonical gospel accounts is supported by the historical evidence
The means of communication of the gospel was through a reliable oral gospel tradition
The resurrection is a plausible event
The new and old gnosticism are based on fantasies, not on historical events
One cannot logically maintain that all religions describe a path to the same reality
How should one engage a person of another faith concerning diverse religious beliefs?
Appendixes.
The following passages may be hymnic, creedal, or, in a few instances, Old Testament quotations
Bart Ehrman's recently published Jesus Interrupted is contradicted by the conclusions of his mentor, Bruce M. Metzger
