R E v o L u T1 o N A ry or pacifist ? Jewish scholar, or liberator from the Law? For two thousand years few subjects have provoked more controversy than the life of the blessed Messiah of Nazareth. In our own time, discoveries such as the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi Gospels, and the still unresolved mystery of the Shroud of Turin, have made the debate more lively and more fascinating than everbefore.
In this book, a leading British Muslim scholar examines the most recent research and its implications for Jesus scholarship and for the churches, as they seek to reinterpret Jesus for the new age. Her conclusions are that the historical Jesus emerges as a figure far more glorious than the Christ defined in the formulas of medieval Christianity', which were influenced heavily by Greek philosophy and mystery religions whose beliefs hold little appeal for the modern mind. Ideas once blasted as'heresies’ now seem to have preserved the authentic teachings of the Galilean more fullv than the official orthodoxies. Maqsood shows that the Jesus who is now being reclaimed in this way is a figure who is not a stumbling-block to dialogue, but can be affirmed by Jews and Muslims, as well as by Christians anxious to uphold historicallv credible accounts of the saintly figure at the centre oftheir faith.
Few Muslims have meditated deeply on Christian origins. This groundbreaking book shows how modern Christian and Muslim scholarship is drawing together, bringing hope of future reconciliation and dialogue between the two largest world faiths.

Bible Alive Jesus Christ 003: "The Starting Point for Christology"BibleAlive
We explore the facts which are “rock bottom” which lead us beyond history into Christology proper, since they raise the meaning and significance of the “Jesus event”: 1) Jesus’ death on the cross and 2) the Easter kerygma. Learn about the origins of the Four Gospels. See the extra-biblical documents that record the execution of Jesus. Learn the pre-Pauline formula of 1 Corinthians 15:3b-5 and its ramifications. Read the “empty-tomb” narratives and discover their meaning.
This is my talk to the public at St Mary's Church (Twickenham), which explore the Christian views on Jesus of Nazareth, soon proclaimed as the "Son of God" and much later (the Creed of the Nicaea in 325 CE) as "begotten from the substance of the Father". At the end people were encouraged to ask questions
Bible Alive Jesus Christ 002: "Criteria & Historical Foundations“”BibleAlive
What is the nature of the 27 New Testament Documents? Learn our three goals for this course: We will try and 1) determine the meaning of the earthly life of Jesus illuminated by our Christian faith in his resurrection; 2) show Jesus’ central place in God’s plan of salvation and his role in revealing and carrying out that plan; and 3) show that the inspired portrait of the New Testament is not fictitious, but sheds light on the mystery of the real Jesus of Nazareth.
This is a study of Jesus being the greatest wise man. He had the very wisdom of His father, and as you study His teaching you come to realize that no one ever spoke as He did, and no one was ever more clever in dealing with problems and issues. He had the greatest plan for the best life for time and eternity.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

In the survey, while virtually all of Americans with evangelical beliefs
agreed that there is one true God in three persons (97%), that he is perfect
(97%), and that he answers prayer (94%), respondents stumbled over the
nature of Jesus. Seven out of 10 said he was the first and greatest being
created by God (71%).
The survey reports that about 56% said that “the Holy Spirit is a divine
force but not a personal being,” and 28% believe “the Holy Spirit is a
divine being, but is not equal with God the Father or Jesus.

“Therefore as you have received Christ
Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him”. (Col. 2:6)
“Christ Jesus the Lord” - The emphasis is on the true doctrine of Christ’s
Person which was perverted by the Colossian teachers.
The Colossians were to remember the nature and content of their faith at
the time of their salvation, and that was to guide them throughout their
Christian lives as well.

“Therefore as you have received Christ
Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him”. (Col. 2:6)
John Gill writes, “not only in imitation of Him as He walked, in the exercise of
grace, as love, patience, humility, and meekness, and in the discharge of duty; but
by faith in Him, going on in a way of believing in Him, always looking to Him,
leaning on Him, and deriving grace and strength from Him: to walk in Christ, is
to walk in and after the Spirit of Christ, under His influence, by His direction, and
through His assistance; and to walk in the doctrine of Christ, abiding by it, and
increasing in the knowledge of it…”

“…rooted and built up in Him, and
established in the faith, as you have been

“rooted” – is a perfect participle in the Greek text expressing an abiding
result, “having been rooted with the present result that you are firmly
anchored”.

“…rooted and built up in Him, and

“in the faith” – is tēi pistei (τηι πιστει), “Paul did not mean the experience
of faith, or “personal faith,” even though the Colossians’ personal faith was
strong. The attack was against “the faith,” the system of Christian truth and
its ramifications in life. The church was commended for its growing
strength in Christian truth”.

“…rooted and built up in Him, and
established in the faith, as you have been
taught, abounding in it with
thanksgiving”. (Col. 2:7)
“abounding in it” – is perisseuō (περισσευω), “to be in abundance.” As the
Colossians were established in their faith, they would have more of it (faith)
in abundance. Because of abundant faith, they would overflow with
thanksgiving.
