Who is this Jesus? Author: E.M. Hicham Without doubt the key figure of human history is Jesus Christ. If you
live in the western world the date written on the coins in your pocket and on
today’s newspaper has been fixed with reference to his birth. Jesus Christ
never wrote a book or song yet more books and songs have been written about
him than about any other person who has ever lived. As we stand 2,000 years
on the other side of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection, questions still
linger. Who is he? What is so special about him? And why did he come? The opinions about Jesus are countless in seemingly every area of
culture. Although many people agree that he was a good man and did great
works, most refuse to accept that he was divine and came into this world to
save people from their sins. Is there any evidence that Jesus is God? In science and investigative journalism, we pursue truth
passionately. Why should it be different in this important realm? In this
book, I look at the facts and show that Jesus is indeed exactly who he
claimed to be: The Son of God and the Saviour of
sinners. |

A personal invitation Appendix: Answering the most common objections
to the deity of Christ What Others Are Saying About this book: “In this excellent book E.M. Hicham carefully
shows his readers that one cannot escape the question, ‘Who is Jesus?’
Because of the nature of Christ’s ministry and his clear claims to deity, the
one answer you cannot give is, ‘He was just a good man’. Was Jesus beside
himself to make such authorative claims? Was he
deluded? Were the writings of the Gospels a fabrication as Dan Brown claimed
in his ‘Da Vinci Code’? Hicham shows overwhelming
evidence that there was no tampering with these records and that we must face
up to the reality of the claims of Christ and the remarkable testimony of
millions of changed lives down the centuries that Christ really is the Son of
God sent to save us from our sins. Those of us who have
had the privilege of knowing Hicham can testify to the remarkable Christian
grace in this man of God raised up for this generation, his powerful
preaching (in at least three languages) and the great gifts of writing and
communication with which God has endowed him. I unreservedly recommend this
book for all enquirers of the Christian Gospel. Professor Andy

” “This excellent book
by E.M. Hicham seeks to answer that important question by considering the
writings of the prophets, the words of eyewitnesses and by examining what
Jesus himself said. I strongly recommend this book and urge you to read it
thoughtfully so that you may answer for yourself that vital question: ‘Who is
this Jesus?’ Dr Steve Taylor, Reader
