Jesus is one of the most written about and debated figures in the world. In this eight-part series, Dr. Maier explores a three-lane highway: history, geography and archaeology. Along the journey, we look back to a world that Jesus himself saw as he moved toward the cross and answer the following questions and more:
- Was Jesus an actual historical figure?
- Did he actually rise from the dead?
- What was the Crucifixion?
Dr. Billy Graham says "For the supremely pivotal event of the resurrection Paul Maier lends fresh scholarly support." An excellent tool for bible study, small group ministry, or a community outreach event; the package includes an eight session, reproducible study guide written by Dr. Maier.Also included are poster and flyer designs.
Excellent for students from grade 7+
Available on both DVD and VHS as well as on CD and cassette.
Commendations
Ours is not a day when the subject of history commands universal respect. Effective historians thus need to have more than wide reading and deep knowledge. They must possess the ability to communicate a passion for their subject, and verve and, dare I say it, moxie. Paul Maier has all of this and more. Building on the solidarity of the Christian worldview, his taped lectures on Jesus--Legend or Lord are history at its best. They inform the mind as well as gripping and challenging the listener with their passion. They effectively display the unmistakable historical basis of the Christian faith and implicitly call for a commitment to Jesus as Lord. This listener highly recommends them and was longing for more.

It is most heartening to see the continued outpouring of excellent historical works being produced by Dr. Paul L. Maier, one of the premier historians of our time. This is especially true because of the fact that Dr. Maier does not ignore the important and Christian aspects of our Western Christian history, but gives them accurate and sympathetic coverage. His writings have been a help and an encouragement to me and I am sure to many thousands of others.
