This book contains writings that have been received through a telepathic impression process by Bruce Lyon between 2001 and 2003. They are believed to be from the ashram of the Master DK and they are presented as such, although they must naturally stand on their own merits and any value will be tested in their practical application in the lives of disciples and groups over time. The second section outlines the process by which these writings were received, some thoughts on inspired writings, and some background information in case it is of assistance to others involved in similar processes of impression.

The Meaning of Jesus: Two Visions
English | 1998 | ISBN: 0060608757, 0061285544, 9780060608750, 9780061285547, B0027KRRWK | 304 Pages | PDF | 1.10 MB
Jesus is reported to have asked his disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" The question of who Jesus really was has been reignited in our own time, as scholars, clergy, and laypeople debate the truth about Jesus. The answer determines what true Christian faith and authentic Christian living are today.Now, two leading scholars, representing the primary alternative views, freshly capture the historical Jesus debate in one spirited volume. Marcus Borg, the most popular liberal voice on Jesus, a member of the Jesus Seminar, and author of the bestselling Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, and N. T. Wright, the most prominent standard-bearer for the traditional stance, outspoken critic of the Jesus Seminar, and author of Jesus and the Victory of God, collaborate for the first time in a civilized but forthright debate about all the essential issues.In alternating chapters, Borg and Wright present their significantly different visions of who Jesus was, what he taught, and what he did. Although both authors share a conviction that Christian faith should be grounded in the best historical scholarship and they agree that Jesus is the Christian messiah and preached the Kingdom of God, they express sharp, well-argued disagreement over many crucial issues. Did Jesus know that he was the messiah? Did Jesus intentionally die to redeem humankind? Was Jesus bodily resurrected from the dead? Was Jesus God? Was Jesus born of a virgin?The authors show how we can come to know Jesus historically and how our faith is vitally shaped by that understanding. Marcus Borg, a practicing Episcopalian, and N. T. Wright, a prominent Anglican clergyman-both of whom obtained their doctorates in New Testament at Oxford University, working with the same principal professor-express their views with remarkable clarity and personal conviction. And their lively, substantial, yet respectful dialogue provides a wonderful foundation and model for how the historical Jesus debate needs to be conducted.Through their engaging exchange Borg and Wright begin to answer the essential question of "how different visions of Jesus relate to visions of the Christian life," and they spell out what it means to each of them to be a Christian at the end of the twentieth century. The Historical Jesus Debate in one volumeFor the first time, leading figures in the field collaborate to debate the essential issues in the historical Jesus controversy. The Meaning of Jesus offers the major alternate visions of Jesus and explores the differences the understanding of Jesus makes in shaping faith today. The authors show how what one thinks of Jesus determines what it means to be a Christian. They debate all the crucial issues, including:The Divinity of JesusThe Virgin BirthThe Meaning of the CrucifixionThe Truth of the ResurrectionThe Second Coming

A Sure Foundation: Answering the Charge Against Christianity
English | 2008 | ISBN: 1441402381, 9781441402387 | 670 Pages | PDF | 63.29 MB
Since the days of the early Christian church, unbelievers have dismissed the Gospel of Christ as a myth or hoax, so far as to say that Jesus of Nazareth was not even a historical figure. Christianity, they say, is a system of faith which is merely a reworking of pre-existing beliefs and motifs from both pagan mythology and astrology. In this book, these claims will be put to the test in order to separate fact from fiction in such accusations against Christianity. Additionally, it will be shown in what ways the person of Jesus of Nazareth is so drastically unique from other deities purported to be among the world's many "crucified saviors."

In the book "The lies about Muhammed", well known American Muslim scholar Moustafa Zayed refutes the historical errors and allegations in the New York Times Bestseller book "The Truth about Muhammad" by Robert Spencer. In refuting Spencer's claims, Zayed brings to life a richness of history, politics, and current events into the spectrum of the hot debate. The book uniquely shows Islam and Islamic history from the rare point of view of a true Muslim scholar without any politically biased alterations of a middle man; more importantly an America Muslim scholar who shares the pulse of our day to day life. The reader will come to know real Islam and Islamic history in regards to plenty of topics like the raging controversies about women, human, and minority's rights in Islam - not just from an Islamic perspective - but also in light of world history, Judaism, and Christianity. Zayed eloquently shows how the misinformation about Islam is woven into the Islamophobia of today. The depth of knowledge and unique perspective of Mr. Zayed enlightens the reader about the overall depth of the meaning of God and religion from an interesting angle that could give birth to a debate unparalleled in today's literature - a debate that matters greatly to millions of readers.
