During his earthly life Jesus had many critics and enemies who sought to discredit him and sometimes trap him in his own words. They said, for example, that he had threatened to destroy the temple, that he was a blasphemer and that he acted in league with the devil. On one occasion some religious leaders \u2018grumbled, saying, \u201cThis man receives sinners\u201d\u2019 (Luke 15:1). However, what they intended as an attack gives expression to gospel truth \u2013 Jesus did and does welcome sinners; as the apostle Paul wrote, \u2018The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners\u2019 (1 Tim. 1:15). The Gospel According to Christ\u2019s Enemies<\/em> looks at such attacks in Scripture and also considers contemporary attacks on Christianity which express truths that their speakers do not intend. The book leads us to the gospel according to Jesus Christ himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Book Description During his earthly life Jesus had many critics and enemies who sought to discredit him and sometimes trap him in his own words.
