There is much discussion today about how we are to understand the life of Jesus in the Gospels. What was Jesus doing between his birth and death and how does this relate to salvation? This book corrects the Christian tendency to minimize the life of Jesus, explaining why the Gospels include much more than the Passion narratives. Brandon Crowe argues that Jesus is identified in the Gospels as the last Adam whose obedience recapitulates and overcomes the sin of the first Adam. Crowe shows that all four Gospels present Jesus's obedient life as having saving significance.
This book explain the process of Jesus Christ as the last Adam in details. The reason I am writing this book is because the Lord put on my heart to try, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to answer this question about life after death and the process of death. I get asked all the time what happens after death; many Christians ask that question. I had three categories of readers in mind as I sat down to pen this book: Those who have been asking the question about death; Bible-believing Christians. Those observers from outside the church, who believe not in Jesus Christ and his resurrection to life. Most importantly, the preacher that preaches the word of God and the resurrection of Jesus as the last Adam. For the resurrection of Jesus is the foundational fact on which Christianity is built: "If Christ be not raised your faith is vain; Ye are yet in your sins" (1 Corinthians 15:17).
For decades, Henry Morris has been known as a defender of the Christian faith. It's an auspicious title for such a humble man, yet no one can deny that the grasp Morris has on science and faith issues is staggering. In this updated classic, Morris walks the reader through history "real history" by showing the absurdity of evolution. From a wide variety of sciences, including astronomy, biology, chemistry, physics, and geology, Morris presents clear evidence that the Bible gives us an astonishingly accurate record of the past, present, and future.
All spirits come from God. That means we all knew this majestic plan beginning with Adam and ending where we began - inside God through Christ Jesus, as the last Adam. This one scripture is the very heart of the book... "And so it is said, the first man Adam was a living soul. The last Adam is a life-giving spirit." [1 Corinthians 15:45 BBE] Get ready because the veil that has hidden your true nature and identity is about to be ripped off of you forever!

Do you want to have a creative voice with a frequency of faith that causes the material world to respond? You can have what Adam lost and discover... -The hidden mystery of sin -How the author of sin became its greatest victim -The truth about the power and authority Adam lost This is the first book in a series of short exposés designed to reveal the ever ascending power of the living Christ. Man was created in the image of the One who created all things. The last Adam was not only resurrected over death, but He also defeated the fear of it.

That's what the last Adam gave us. Now, the choice is yours - but you need to take it!
This book retells the narrative of Christ’s redemptive journey by looking at some of the Gospel’s underlying assumptions and showing how they are both reasonable and credible. For Christians, faith is not contrary to reason, but presupposes and even builds on it. This faith asks us to put aside whatever preconceptions we may have regarding the Gospel message and listen with an open heart to the way it speaks to the universal human condition. The seed of hope buried deep within the mythologies of old is nothing but a faint reflection of God’s dream for his creation. For Christians, this dream has entered the arena of history in the person of Jesus Christ, the New Adam, who sheds light on our human condition by “making all things new” (Rev 21:5).
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is one of the best-attested facts of history. But believing in the resurrection is one thing. Knowing what it means is another. Although much has been written about the apologetics of the resurrection, little has been written about its theological meaning. This book reveals the hidden depths of the theological significance and ongoing relevance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ for our being, our salvation, Christian life, ethics, and our future hope.
Draws on St. Paul's letters and other early sources to reveal the apostles' sharply competing ideas about the significance of Jesus and his teachings while demonstrating how St. Paul independently shaped Christianity as it is known today.

This volume highlights the sustained focus in Acts on the resurrection of Christ, bringing clarity to the theology of Acts and its purpose. Brandon Crowe explores the historical, theological, and canonical implications of Jesus's resurrection in early Christianity and helps readers more clearly understand the purpose of Acts in the context of the New Testament canon. He also shows how the resurrection is the fulfillment of the Old Testament Scriptures. This is the first major book-length study on the theological significance of Jesus's resurrection in Acts.
