Jesus for Adults: The Search for Meaning and PurposeDestiny Image Publishers, 2006 - 219 страници Mature thinkers want an honest interpretation of the complexities and implications of Scripture. You want an intelligent discussion as to whether modern science and technology displace ancient Scripture-or whether they testify to the mind of the Creator. You want authenticity-not cliches. This book examines the motives and personalities of the men and women who personally knew Jesus-moving you beyond children's Bible stories to adult reasoning and understanding. Author Linda Rios Brook dares to ask-and answer-the tough questions including: Is Jesus really coming back? Does Western bias slant the interpretation of women's roles in the Bible? Where is Heaven? Does the Bible stand up to the scrutiny of honest skepticism? Is satan real? Jesus for Adults will challenge your conclusions and strengthen your stand. Book jacket. |
