Jesus, Divine Messiah a compilation of two of Reymond's previous works: Jesus, Divine Messiah: Old Testament Witness and Jesus, Divine Messiah: New Testament Witness is a stalwart defense of Christ's Messiahship through both the Old and New Testaments. New material was written and added for this compilation to the original material, along with its copious number of citations to original languages, a great number of footnotes and frequent discussions of higher critical theories regarding Christ's diety.
