N1  - Distributor from jacket flap; 2; 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?; 2
