Book Description
The earliest Christians believed Jesus was an ancient celestial being who put on a bodysuit of flesh, died at the hands of dark forces, and then rose from the dead and ascended back into the heavens. But the writing we have today from that first generation of Christians never says where they thought he landed, where he lived, or where he died. The idea that Jesus toured Galilee and visited Jerusalem arose only a lifetime later, in unsourced legends written in a foreign land and language. Many sources repeat those legends, but none corroborate them. Why? What exactly was the original belief about Jesus, and how did this belief change over time? In Jesus from Outer Space, noted philosopher and historian Richard Carrier summarizes for a popular audience the scholarly research on these and related questions, revealing in turn how modern attempts to conceal, misrepresent, or avoid the actual evidence calls into question the entire field of Jesus studies--and present-day beliefs about how Christianity began.

Would You Baptize an Extraterrestrial?
Author: Guy Consolmagno, SJ
Publisher: Image
ISBN: 0804136963
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Witty and thought provoking, two Vatican astronomers shed provocative light on some of the strange places where religion and science meet. “Imagine if a Martian showed up, all big ears and big nose like a child’s drawing, and he asked to be baptized. How would you react?” —Pope Francis, May, 2014 Pope Francis posed that question—without insisting on an answer!—to provoke deeper reflection about inclusiveness and diversity in the Church. But it's not the first time that question has been asked. Brother Guy Consolmagno and Father Paul Mueller hear questions like that all the time. They’re scientists at the Vatican Observatory, the official astronomical research institute of the Catholic Church. In Would You Baptize an Extraterrestrial? they explore a variety of questions at the crossroads of faith and reason: How do you reconcile the The Big Bang with Genesis? Was the Star of Bethlehem just a pious religious story or an actual description of astronomical events? What really went down between Galileo and the Catholic Church—and why do the effects of that confrontation still reverberate to this day? Will the Universe come to an end? And… could you really baptize an extraterrestrial? With disarming humor, Brother Guy and Father Paul explore these questions and more over the course of six days of dialogue. Would You Baptize an Extraterrestrial will make you laugh, make you think, and make you reflect more deeply on science, faith, and the nature of the universe.

Pages : 208
Book Description
What The Aliens Told Us About God, Jesus, Human Soul And The Afterlife. From the secret aliens-US meetings in 1947 and 1948, and the account of Maria Orsic. Published by Times Square Press, New York. If you are among those who believe that our government's representatives met with aliens/extraterrestrials, then, and logically, you should entertain or consider the possibility that some of the subjects discussed during those meetings would be of a religious or at least moral or ethical nature, especially since at least three powerful religious leaders in our country attended one or two meetings with aliens on an American soil. In fact, this is exactly what happened. And we will be discussing the concerns and the questions of those religious dignitaries, the answers of the aliens, and how a synopsis of the discussions between our religious leaders and aliens ended up on the desk of religious authorities thanks to their religious affiliation and/or loyalty to their faith's hierarchy!

Jesus the Son of God
Author: D. A. Carson
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433537966
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Although it is a foundational confession for all Christians, much of the theological significance of Jesus's identity as "the Son of God" is often overlooked or misunderstood. Moreover, this Christological concept stands at the center of today's Bible translation debates and increased ministry efforts to Muslims. New Testament scholar D. A. Carson sheds light on this important issue with his usual exegetical clarity and theological insight, first by broadly surveying Jesus's biblical name as "the Son of God," and then by focusing on two key texts that speak of Christ's sonship. The book concludes with the implications of Jesus's divine sonship for how modern Christians think and speak about Christ, especially in relation to Bible translation and missionary engagement with Muslims across the globe.

What If Jesus Christ Was an Alien!
Author: A. D. Reem
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781616671877
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
The point of What If Jesus Christ Was An Alien! is to offer an alternate theory to the Bible with regard to how the human species was created, evolved and what our purpose of existence is. This unique and compelling book explains that humans are a colonized species created by an ancestral species. Our galaxy and planet is a created and controlled environment for life forms to evolve. This did not occur by chance but by design. This book differs from Darwin's, Theory of Evolution as it details how humans not only evolved from apes but also how we have been genetically manipulated by our ancestral species. This controlled manipulation of our genetics has developed a high functioning brain that has separated humans from all other species on earth. Get ready for a journey of spiritual and physical significance that will never be repeated again in the future of the human species. The people that have power within controlling religious institutions will study, ridicule and criticize this work. This book will become the foundation template to the greatest alternative to spirituality ever documented.

Resident Aliens
Author: Stanley Hauerwas
Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1426788606
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
Only when the Church enacts its scandalous Jesus-centered tradition, will it truly be the Body of Christ and transform the world. Twenty-five years after its first publishing, Resident Aliens remains a prophetic vision of how the Church can regain its vitality, battle its malaise, reclaim its capacity to nourish souls, and stand firmly against the illusions, pretensions, and eroding values of today's world. Resident Aliens discusses the nature of the church and its relationship to surrounding culture. It argues that churches should focus on developing Christian life and community rather than attempting to reform secular culture. Hauerwas and Willimon reject the idea that America is a Christian nation, instead Christians should see themselves as "residents aliens" in a foreign land. Stanley Hauerwas and William H. Willimon maintain that, instead of attempting to transform government, the role of Christians is to live lives which model the love of Christ. Rather than trying to convince others to change their ethics, Christians should model a new set of ethics which are grounded in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ.
