As Christians, we believe that Jesus was fully man and fully God, not part man part God which is Greek Mythology Demigod. Christ's deity is always up for debate. There have been a lot of books written on the subject as well as several conferences.
While the deity of Christ has become a hot topic, the humanity of Christ has been put on the back burner as the subject no one wants to discuss. Patrick Henry Reardon addresses Christ's humanity in his book, The Jesus We Missed. Reardon talks about Jesus growing up as far how he was possibly raised according to Jewish traditions. He also talked about his baptism, how he dealt with women, death, and resurrection while using Scriptures to support his teachings on the humanity of Jesus.
This was an interesting read because there are not that many books addressing Jesus' humanity which I can understand why Reardon titled the book the way he did. This is a good tool to use in sermons and Bible study as well as good apologetic tool when talking about Jesus.
Thanks Booksneeze for letting me review this book.
