Book Description
In what is probably the most systematic work on the subject of the early church teaching on the 'Rapture', the church and the Antichrist, theologian Nathanael Lewis picks up where his last book, 'Rapture Rupture!' left off, once again exposing lie after lie and fabrication after fabrication coming from the Pre-Tribulationists.In this work he shows: * That the early church fathers were united for many centuries in rejecting Pre-Tribulationism* That two of the earliest church fathers closest to the apostles rejected foundational dispensationalist positions as dangerous heresy* That the early church fathers without exception taught that the church would go through the entire Tribulation period* That this apostolic teaching was passed on and despite major changes in church teaching on eschatology lasted for close to 1800 years* That the only posible exception was the teaching of a medieval violent heretical cult leader* That the claim that many Puritan influenced writers of the 17th and 18th centuries preached a Pre-Tribulation rapture is false* That claims about the Rapture and the Dead Sea Scrolls are faked* How the social conditions we have today were what early church fathers said would presage the antichrist* How church apostasy makes was for the Antichrist, and how God will respond to rescue the church* The options facing Christians during the Tribulation* That every single alleged quote from the early church fathers supporting the Pre-Tribulation position is very carefully and precisely edited to cut out the material that shows they taught the oppositeCovering every available relevant text for the first seven centuries of the church, and a great many later documents, this book amply demonstrates its central claim that anyone who claims that the early church fathers taught the Pre-Tribulation rapture is lying to you, no matter how sincerely they may believe it, and is a useful comapnion to his first book which proved the New Testament also did not teach such a position.Nathanael Lewis has an MTheol (Hons) from St Andrews, Scotland's oldest university. In addition to writing on theology, he is a poet, composer and musician, and an expert on on the situation of Christians in Pakistan.A minumum of 6.25% of the sale price of this book will go to charities and NGOs, mainly those helping persecuted Pakistani and/or Middle Eastern Christians

How Jesus Became God
Author: Bart D. Ehrman
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062252194
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
New York Times bestselling author and Bible expert Bart Ehrman reveals how Jesus’s divinity became dogma in the first few centuries of the early church. The claim at the heart of the Christian faith is that Jesus of Nazareth was, and is, God. But this is not what the original disciples believed during Jesus’s lifetime—and it is not what Jesus claimed about himself. How Jesus Became God tells the story of an idea that shaped Christianity, and of the evolution of a belief that looked very different in the fourth century than it did in the first. A master explainer of Christian history, texts, and traditions, Ehrman reveals how an apocalyptic prophet from the backwaters of rural Galilee crucified for crimes against the state came to be thought of as equal with the one God Almighty, Creator of all things. But how did he move from being a Jewish prophet to being God? In a book that took eight years to research and write, Ehrman sketches Jesus’s transformation from a human prophet to the Son of God exalted to divine status at his resurrection. Only when some of Jesus’s followers had visions of him after his death—alive again—did anyone come to think that he, the prophet from Galilee, had become God. And what they meant by that was not at all what people mean today. Written for secular historians of religion and believers alike, How Jesus Became God will engage anyone interested in the historical developments that led to the affirmation at the heart of Christianity: Jesus was, and is, God.
