The Jesus Enigma: From Mystery Messiah to Orthodox Sovereign God Perry Tkachuk

You may think you know Jesus after reading the Gospels and from being a Christian, perhaps all your life. But if you are steeped in the writings of Paul, his filters will invariably be imposed back onto the Jesus of the Gospels, making you see a Jesus that doesn't exist.

The Jesus Enigma is this story of how Paul swayed the early church away from Peter's Jesus to his Spirit-Jesus in his own imagination. Thus, Peter's Keys (to the gates of the Kingdom) and Paul's Sword (of the spirit, which is the word of God), are depicted in the cover of this book. The keys and sword are in conflict with each other-but Paul won. And his sword of his Spirit-based Gospel is now "as if" the word of God, when the Gospels clearly give us Jesus' words, which are the keys to the kingdom.

This book attempts to have you see Peter's Jesus, as opposed to Paul's Spirit-Jesus-then decide which is the real Jesus for yourself. For, the Christian Church since the 4th Century CE sided with Paul and now the Jesus of the Gospels is obscure to us, so will only see Paul's Spirit-Jesus when reading the Gospels.

After reading The Jesus Enigma, you will not read the Gospels in the same way ever again.

Are you up to the challenge?
