No thoughtful answer fails to stretch our language  our categories or our aspirations. In recent years numerous books have been written on Jesus  books that are shaped by faith or skepticism or follow the Western academic quest for the historical Jesus. The result has been a kaleidoscope of Jesuses  a thicket of viewpoints  some troubling to faith  some puzzling to the intellect  and a few that enrich our vision as they explore familiar terrain from new and promising angles. Here is a book written by one who for a lifetime has followed Christ with heart  mind  soul and strength. John Stott offers us a vision of Christ whose portrait is discerned in the mosaic pattern of Scripture  whose influence is traced in the great currents of history  and whose compelling call has shaped the story line of ordinary humans who have been charged with extraordinary faith and courage. The minimalist criteria for weighing the authenticity of Jesus sayings and deeds yield only a thin outline of Jesus  the barely discernible image of a Jewish sage or prophet. But the criteria of Scriptures testimony and the effective power of Jesus in lives and history point to a multidimensional  incomparable Christ who defies measurement. Jesus is the one figure who  like no other  has changed lives  shaped culture and offers one sure hope for the future. He is the center of history  the focus of Scripture  the heart of mission. He is the incomparable Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789806526517,"sku":"ByrdShop_0830823433","price":24.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780830823437.jpg?v=1784699702","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-incomparable-christ-9780830823437","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
