Jesus-Yeshua, By Dr. Michael L. Brown

Two thousand years have come and gone, but the question remains the same: Is Jesus of Nazareth the Jewish Messiah, the Savior of the world? If He is, then let's follow Him, for we have no other way. If He's not, let's expose Him, for only the truth will set us free.

Breaking The Da Vinci Code, By Collin Hansen 11/07/2003

So the divine Jesus and infallible Word emerged out of a fourth-century power-play? Get real.

While the ABC News feature focused on Brown's fascination with an alleged marriage between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, The Da Vinci Code contains many more (equally dubious) claims about Christianity's historic origins and theological development. The central claim Brown's novel makes about Christianity is that "almost everything our fathers taught us about Christ is false." Why? Because of a single meeting of bishops in 325, at the city of Nicea in modern-day Turkey. There, argues Brown, church leaders who wanted to consolidate their power base (he calls this, anachronistically, "the Vatican" or "the Roman Catholic church") created a divine Christ and an infallible Scripture-both of them novelties that had never before existed among Christians.

The Da Vinci Conspiracy, Distinguishing Fact from Fiction

BreakPoint with Charles Colson, January 20, 2004
Several months ago, a friend came to me outraged over Dan Brown's thriller, The Da Vinci Code. He read the book, and while he found the story fascinating, it was filled, he said, with historical distortions and was nothing but an anti-Christian-specifically anti-Catholic-screed. Don't worry, I told him, it will blow over like all fads. Besides, no thinking person will take it seriously.

Well, I was wrong. Since then I've talked to a lot of people who have read the book. And for non-believers, it confirms their unbelief. It turns off honest seekers, and it has confused and disillusioned even many Christians.

The Identity of the Jewish Messiah Revealed, By Sam Shamoun (condensed)

The following study will be a comparison between the concept of Messiah as outlined in the Hebrew Scriptures and that of the Christian New Testament documents. The purpose of this exposition will be to expound upon the Jewish teaching on Messiah in contrast with that of Christianity. The Hebrew Bible gives a clear outline as to who, what, where and how the Messiah will appear. For this reason, we begin with an examination of the Hebrew Scriptures in order to see if whether the Tanakh supports the fact that the Messiah of God is both divine and human, one Person having two natures. We will also examine the Hebrew Bible for the evidence that the Messiah would not only reign as king, but also die a substitutionary death on behalf of sinners, making atonement for sin. As this is being done, we will see if Jesus fits the outline of Messiah presented to us in the Hebrew Bible.

Why Yeshua Must Be The True Messiah, By Earl Werner

Quite often my parents would use the expression in
Yiddish which translated means "When Messiah will come."

This expression would be used in regards to something which was so far in the future that it would be foolish to even consider it. Though I heard this expression concerning Messiah used many times, I had not the slightest idea as to the true identity of the Messiah they mentioned.

Tri-Unity is Jewish, By Rachmiel Frydland

MOST MODERN JEWISH PEOPLE seem to have made their "peace" with Jesus of Nazareth. Some consider Him to be a great Jew, or even the greatest Jew who ever lived. Some of our Jewish leaders, as Dr. Heinrich Graetz and Dr. Joseph Klausner, compliment Him on His teaching. Some admire His parables and purity, as Moses Montefiore; and some, as Sholem Asch and others, even consider Him to be the Messiah of the Gentiles. What then holds such Jewish people back from accepting Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior? The hindrance some have expressed to the writer of this article is the reluctance to accept the fact that Jesus is supernatural.
