JESUS OF
NAZARETH His Character, Teachings and Supernatural Works John A. Broadus Available from Solid Ground Christian Books |
"Broadus shows ample awareness on many fronts - a necessary element of
effective apologetics. He paints an admirable picture of the friend of sinners
and sinless Son of God. I especially appreciated the section on the centrality
of the resurrection."
Richard C. Barcellos, Pastor
Managing Editor of Reformed Baptist Theological Review
"These lectures were delivered in March 1890, in the Hall recently erected and
given to Johns Hopkins University, for the use of the Young Men's Christian
Association of that institution; and the President of the YMCA specially
requested their publication. They were not designed as class-room lectures,
since many not connected with the University were invited to attend.
"The subject treated seems to possess an ever-deepening interest at the
present time. The personal character of Jesus is now widely perceived to be an
important guarantee of his teachings and works. This character is presented by
the first lecture in a way that to some may appear lacking in devout warmth;
but the object was to gain the concurrence of every person who will calmly
survey the historical facts, and thus to lay a foundation for what would
follow. It is hoped that the second lecture will tend to rectify certain
erroneous but quite prevalent views of the Savior's teaching; and that the
third lecture may be found to have some argumentative force in regarde to his
mission and claims.
"The little volume is the fruit of life-time studies, and has been prepared
with the author's best exertions, and a great desire to promote 'the knowledge
of Jesus, the most excellent of the sciences." - from the Author's Preface
JOHN ALBERT BROADUS (1827-1895) was to become one of the most influential
Baptist leaders in the history of the nation. This volume is a wonderful
introduction to the heart of this man who loved his Savior and Lord with a
passion that was contagious.
