The Great Controversies of Jesus, Deciphering the Mysteries of Christianity... - E-book - ePub

More than two thousand years ago, the most extraordinary man of all time was born. Much has been written and spoken about Jesus, immersed in a religious environment of fascination. Even with a short ministry, He managed to permanently change the history, leaving a sensational legacy. Paradoxically, Jesus has been subject of many debates and discussions over several centuries, and various questions have arisen among academics and researchers, which have even led to doubt about his existence.
The great controversies of Jesus are the following: Who is Jesus? Why didn´t Jesus leave written documents? Are the canonical Gospels valid? Who is the Messiah announced in the biblical prophecies? Is Jesus religious or esoteric? What is the role of Jesus in human suffering? Is Jesus God? Is Jesus a member of the trinity? Is Jesus a descendant of the king David? When and where was Jesus born? Did Jesus have brothers? Who is the Virgin Mary? Who is Mary Magdalene? How long did Jesus' ministry last? What happened during the lost years of Jesus? Why and how was Jesus condemned? How did Jesus die and why is the Christian cross so important? What happened when Jesus died? Why don´t the Gospels coincide on the resurrection of Jesus? When and where did Jesus ascend to Heaven? What was Paul's role in Christianity?Additionally, Jesus proclaimed a masterly speech to an immense crowd, in which he established a new covenant between God and the Christians, announcing several of the controversial foundations of the Christian doctrine.
Moreover, his Essence is so sensational that it far surpasses the fictitious modern superheroes (which come from the Greek mythology), designed to give hope in a world out of control with these messages: a) the good always defeats the evil, b) it is possible to build a new civilization, based on love and justice, and c) progress is being made in the right direction. However, no human invention can end the wickedness and injustices of this world, nor propose a successful path, different from the one posed by Christ, the true Savior of the humankind.
