"Who is Jesus of Nazareth?"
"Who is the person people of faith call 'Christ. the Son of God?"
These questions form the central focus of Encountering Jesus in the New Testament. The text is intended to provide a scriptural and ecclesial foundation to answer the question of why Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. It explores how the New Testament offers evidence and faith testimony to the Life, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, It encourages students' growth in a personal and ecclesial relationship with Christ through an in-depth presentation of Jesus' historical, cultural and religious background. Encountering Jesus in the New Testament successfully combines Christology--a complete study of the person and the divinity of Jesus Christ with an overview of the books of the New Testament.
The content and detail in Encountering Jesus in the New Testament is unparalleled for introductory high school scripture courses and offers support for the introductory courses of the new High School Curriculum Framework approved by the U.S. Bishops.
