What Manner of Man Is This?

About the Book

Who was Jesus? Was he just a Jew who lived 2000 years ago? Was he God incarnate? Was he the Messiah, a teacher, a healer, a miracle worker or a world savior? He was all of these things, depending on what source you are using to define him. This book tells us about Jesus, perhaps the greatest man who ever lived among us, through a number of different, and often differing sources: (1) The Holy Bible - both Old and New Testaments; (2)modern scholars and historians who make frequent use of documents not discovered until the middle of the last century; (3)from the stories of people who knew him uncovered though the agency of past-life regressions; and 4)from two well-known twentieth century psychics, Edgar Cayce and Levi Dowling who obtained their information from what they called the "akashic records". To supplement the material quoted herein footnotes are provided that list the author and publisher of more than sixty books used in doing research for this book.
