The Divine Goodness of Jesus cover

Explores, with a compelling method, the distinctiveness of Jesus' role as God's filial inquirer of those who inquire of him.

Explores the distinctiveness of Jesus' role as God's filial inquirer of those who inquire of him, while clarifying a method of inquiry regarding Jesus, in terms of best explanation regarding his experiential impact and his audience's response, which values the roles of history and moral experience in inquiry about him.In this book, Paul Moser explores Jesus' role as God's filial inquirer and clarifies a method of inquiry regarding Jesus, one that offers a compelling explanation regarding his experiential impact and his audience's response. Moser's method values the roles of history and moral/religious experience in inquiry about him, and it saves inquirers from distorting biases in their inquiry. His study illuminates Jesus' puzzling features, including his challenging question for inquirers of him (Who do you say I am?), his distinctive experience of God as father, his reference to himself as 'the son of man', his attitude toward his suffering and death, his unique role in the kingdom of God, and his understanding of his allegedly miraculous signs and of his parables and good news. The book also makes sense of evidence for the reality and the main purpose of Jesus.

'With this welcome contribution to the literature on the method and message of Jesus, Moser fills a lacuna—the impact of Christ and the moral response required. Recommended.' W. J. Pankey, Choice Connect
