The Promise of New Life

This section of Jesus' life of ministry is associated with a number of potentially thorny issues, both theological and practical. In order to address these adequately, but without interrupting the flow of the story format of the book, a number of stand-alone appendices have been included in this volume in order to enrich the reader's appreciation of these issues.
The topics explored in these appendices range from a high level discussion of The Synoptic Problem; making sense of Matthew's haphazard chronology; tackling the challenges of interpreting Luke's Travel Narrative as a presentation of literal journeying; addressing what at first reading appears to be an embarrassing anti-Semitism running through John's Gospel to exploring Jesus' teaching on
the afterlife.
This volume has preserved the look and feel of the first of the series and has thereby retained its potential for establishing a rigorous framework for assessing the level of consistency between the Gospels and portraying their central character, Jesus of Nazareth, referred to as Y'shua.
"Having completed another volume in a planned series of five, I am still in awe of both the complexity and simplicity of one whose influence does not seem to have diminished over the last 2000 years of history."
Author, Themba Gamedze
"I have edited many, many Christian books over the years, and this work is by far by a truly immense margin! the BEST I have ever set eyes on. It is more informed than anything I have seen before, more helpful in getting to know Y'shua the man, gave me far more food for thought, and was more inspiring than any of the over-emotional (even soppy!) works that I have seen, could ever hope to be. This work deserves an international readership! I regard it as a landmark work."
