Does Jesus Exist?: The Quest for Biblical Truth & the Suffering Servant in Our Modern World (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798991393102)

Is the Jesus of the New Testament a continuation of divine truth-or a contradiction to it?

Modern Christianity teaches that Jesus came to fulfill and replace the laws of the Old Testament, ushering in a new covenant based on grace and faith. But does this claim withstand historical, archaeological, and biblical scrutiny? Further, what if the New Testament doesn't replace Divine Law but affirms it?

In Does Jesus Exist?, biblical scholar Jodell Onstott, follows the same rigorous, evidence-based approach that made her book YHWH Exists a seminal work. Breaking open Jesus' role in history, Onstott examines Divine Law, studies the irreconcilable differences between the Old and New Testaments, and reveals a universal formula for recognizing truth-one that has been suppressed, distorted, or ignored for centuries. In this impartial look at Christianity and Judaism, Onstott applies biblical archaeology and historic Christianity to investigate whether Jesus fulfills the role of the Suffering Servant from Isaiah 53.

Meticulously researched and fact-based, Does Jesus Exist? explores:

-The role of Jesus in the Torah and messianic prophecy.

-How erasing YHWH's name from Scripture has reshaped faith and theology.

-Rarely discussed-often controversial-ancient texts, including writings from Celsus, the Talmud, Josephus, and Tacitus, to uncover what history really says about Jesus beyond Christian dogma.

-Whether Paul's teachings diverge from those of Jesus and the Hebrew prophets.

-The seven universal precepts of truth that expose theological distortions.

Does Jesus Exist? is a bold and compassionate call for scholars, truth-seekers, and skeptics alike to examine faith through the lens of historical evidence. Presenting hard questions around atonement theology, Divine Law, and historical silence surrounding key Gospel claims, this book is an unapologetic quest for the original truth.
