Is Jesus God? What the Bible Says - Paperback

Who is God? The Bible, the primary source of Christian faith, provides the answer. But do the revelations there lead one to the Church's Trinitarian doctrine that Jesus, the Son of God, is also God? This book addresses this all-important question in a sincere, straightforward, Scripture-based exploration of all that the Bible says about Jesus' divinity and God's identity.

Carefully considering the meaning and translation of hundreds of passages-including the verses apologists claim prove that Jesus is God-rather challenging conclusions are reached. First there is only one Supreme Being who is God, called Yahweh and Father; second, Jesus is the divine (god-like) Son of God who derives his power from the Father.

Since the doctrine that Jesus is God actually developed in the Fourth Century, an investigation of early Church history reveals the influential roles of imperial Roman power and ecclesiastic consensus in the non-biblical evolution of the theology.
