Christian Apologetics, ch. 20

Groothuis takes up the claims, credentials, and achievements of Jesus. There is a lot in this chapter. What I appreciated most is Groothuis' focus on the uniqueness of Jesus. His miracles were not a necessary part of his Messiahship, but are there nonetheless. His authority over demons seems strange, but gives a greater picture of the Kingdom. His authoritative way of speaking and approaching the world is unmatched. This thread is developed by showing what makes Jesus so unique in light of various religions. This chapter is a helpful bridge from the Jesus of Scripture to the uniqueness of Christianity among other religions.
