Publisher's Synopsis
For centuries, the figure of Jesus Christ has been the subject of intense scrutiny, debate, and discussion. As one of the most influential figures in history and religion, countless individuals, institutions, and communities have studied and interpreted his teachings and life. Although the teachings of Jesus Christ have remained relatively constant for thousands of years, the way we understand and apply those teachings has shifted drastically. In "The Biblical Jesus Versus the Modern-Day Jesus," author Rev. Danny L. Formhals Sr. dives deep into this complex and often contentious topic. His message was one of hope and salvation, and his life inspired countless individuals throughout history to embrace a life of faith, humility, and service. However, in recent times, the image of the real Jesus has shifted to fit the current culture by frauds and those bent on destroying the true biblical faith in Jesus Christ. Today the modern-day Jesus has become more ambiguous. He is often portrayed as a political figure advocating social justice and human rights.Moreover, the modern-day Jesus is often seen as endorsing a more liberal, progressive agenda that contradicts some of the timeless values established in the Bible. Today, it's impossible to ignore the tension between the biblical Jesus and the modern-day Jesus and the differences in their message. One view brings life and the opposing view confusion. In this book, Rev. Formhals presents complex issues in a clear and accessible way, encouraging readers to think deeply about their beliefs and how they impact the world around them.
