Not all roads lead to heaven : sharing an exclusive Jesus in an inclusive world / by Jeffress, Robert,1955-author.(CARDINAL)771907;
Includes bibliographical references.Christianity's most offensive belief -- Moving the fence -- Does it really matter? -- The old way was one way -- The intolerant Christ -- Why New Testament Jews were for Jesus -- What about those who have never heard? -- What about those who could never believe in Christ? -- Simple answers to complex questions."Almost 60 percent of those in American evangelical churches believe that many religions can lead to eternal life. But if Jesus is to be trusted when He says that no one comes to the Father except through Him, the church is failing in its mission. And it's not hard to guess why. An exclusive Jesus just isn't popular in our inclusive world. Dr. Robert Jeffress calls on Christians to recover the exclusive claims of the one they claim as Lord and Savior--not as a way to keep people out of heaven but as the only way to invite them in"--Amazon.com.

Despite the commonly held assumption that the Bible says little about the mother of Jesus, there are many indications that Mary preceded and inspired her son in fostering the emergence of a new faith community. In the Gospel of John, Mary instigates Jesus' first miracle, and in all four gospels she is present at the crucifixion, suggesting hers was a place of unparalleled importance in the Christian story.Setting aside presuppositions based on doctrine, Chris Maunder returns to the New Testament to answer the question 'Who was Mary?' He re-examines the virgin conception of Jesus, Mary's contribution to Jesus' ministry, and her central role in the events of the crucifixion and the resurrection. In so doing, Maunder casts a thought-provoking new light on Mary and the women, including Mary Magdalene, who stood alongside her"--
