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