Description: "Do you ever wonder if Jesus really claimed to be God? Maybe you've heard people say, 'Jesus never said he was God,' or you've been asked, 'Why believe Jesus is divine if he never claimed it?' These challenges aren't just from non-Christians--they show up in church, too. Even if you're not coming from a place of skepticism, you might still question how well church teachings about Jesus match up with what he actually said. So, did the historical Jesus really claim to be divine? This book is here to give you confidence in the historicity of Jesus' claim to divinity"

Review Quotes:
"Astute and insightful, clear and compelling, here's a thoroughly historical case for Jesus claiming to be the unique Son of God. In an age when skeptics dispute his outrageous assertion, this is a powerful antidote that sets the record straight. Indeed, Jesus not only asserted that he is divine, but he ultimately demonstrated it by returning from the dead!"
Lee Strobel, author of Seeing the Supernatural
