Overview

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.

“He preferred, rather, the Danielic messianic title ‘Son of Man.’ This title he preferred, as we have suggested, because it allowed him, due to its ambiguity in the public mind, to make his messianic claims with a minimum of interference from the recalcitrant religious leadership and from those among the populace who, embued with the vision of a Messiah only with political associations who would deliver the nation from the yoke of Gentile oppression and extend the nation’s political influence throughout the world, would have attempted to declare him Israel’s king in opposition to Rome (see John 6:15).” (Page 197)

“The promise is given in ‘seed-form,’ true enough, but God clearly stated that someone out of the human race itself (‘the woman’s offspring’), although fatally ‘wounded’ himself in the conflict, would destroy the serpent (Satan).” (Page 69)

“In sum, he continued to be God when he became a man. But, of course, this means that he possessed two whole and entirely distinct complexes of attributes—the divine and the human.” (Page 216)

“Christianity was to remain ‘a religion of rescue’ and not rot down into ‘a religion of self-help.’^{2” (Page 9)}

“Jesus’ assertion of the mutual necessity of the Father and the Son each to reveal the other” (Page 208)
