Two human streams flow through history. The Bible characterizes these streams as the sons of God and the sons of Men. They are first distinguished in Cain and Abel as either those seeking to please God, like Abel, or those who prefer only to please themselves, like Cain. The product of the streams stands in stark contrast. This is the story of the stream of life and light in those identified as the sons of God.

Portraying themselves as challenging blind religious dogma with evidence-led skepticism, the neo-atheist movement claims that the New Testament contains unreliable tales about a mythical figure who, far from being the resurrected Lord of life, may not even have lived. This comprehensive critique documents the falsehood of these neo-atheist claims, correcting their historical and philosophical mistakes to show how we can get at the truth about the historical Jesus.

The Jesus of the four Gospels–and we have no knowledge of any other–appears mainly as a healer and a teacher–that is, as a healer of the soul. Three of the historically most certain facts about him were (1) his pacifism, (2) his feminism, and (3) that his women followers were the true founders of Christianity! The proof of these astounding claims you will find in the book.

The Shema is arguably the most important creed the Jews, including the Christian Jews, ever have. Its importance can also be seen in the texts of the New Testament. This book attempts to explore the Shema's influence over the Gospel of John, especially the oneness language of that Gospel. Using John 10 as a sample, this book argues that the Shema helps us to understand the richness of the text, both theologically and contextually.
