Contents:

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?

Subject: Whether Jesus was really the Son of God or not is a central question for Christians

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?
