The Divinity of Christ

Over 16 centuries ago, a bishop named Arius used sophistical methods to argue that the Bible does not teach that Jesus is not God. His heresy was refuted by Athanasius and condemned at the council of Nicaea. While it took a long time for the heresy to finally be stamped out, the lazy thinking which led to the Arian heresy to emerge in our day. Sometimes it's Jehovah's Witnesses, sometimes it's liberal Christians, and sometimes it's an otherwise faithful person who simply does not know better. Obviously, not all of us have the time or capacity to become Biblical scholars or theologians but everyone can come to know that the Bible unequivocally teaches the Divinity of Christ. Fr. Joseph Rickaby offers an scholarly, powerful, and accessible case for the Divinity of Christ from a Biblical and historical perspective. What's most impressive is that he does this in less than 40 pages It's rare to find a work that can soundly refute heresy and forcefully defend the truth in a way which is so succinct and digestible. This book is an absolute gem Please don't be unprepared this Saturday when the Jehovah's witnesses knock on your door, grab this little work by Fr. Rickaby and contend for the ancient faith Originally a part of the Westminster Lecture series in 1906, this short theological treatise is among one of the most potent defenses of Christ's divinity written in the 20th century. Fr. Rickaby employs Sacred Scripture, church history, and careful reasoning to once again refute the same old heresy of Arianism-which is little more than a result of lazy thinking. Holy Mother Church has cured the sickness of Arianism time and again but some people still seem to get infected. Fr. Rickaby's The Divinity of Christ offers the perfect treatment for the disease of the mind which is the denial of our Lord Jesus' Divinity.
