The author of this study of Romans has served in the ministry for over sixty years. He served as pastor of churches in Mississippi and Alabama. He also served as Missionary Associate for the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention as professor and principle of the Barbados Theological Collage, Barbados, West Indies. This study comes out of over forty years of preaching and teaching from Paul's Book of Romans. Ponder These Questions In Your Heart. As a Christian, do you sometimes feel incomplete, insufficient, insignificant, unworthy and unable to live as you desire? At your best do you feel you are a failure and at your worse you are just no good? Do you feel that the things you do are never satisfying to you and are unworthy of God's approval? Do you sometimes feel the person you are as a husband, wife, mother, father, neighbor, Christian worker is never good enough? Your heart's cry is, "Oh, I wish I could be a better husband, wife, parent, Christian." Are you at times able to say, "I do know some victory, some joy, some peace, but my defeats and despairs are greater than I believe they ought to be? Have you tried and tried but you are always failing, ending up empty? You may at times feel like the fellow who said, "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired." If these express your feeling, then you know what Paul was feeling when he said, "Who can deliver me from this death" (Romans 7:25). If your answer to these question is Yes, this study is especially for you.

I am extremely happy to see the completion of this book- A Student in the School of Christ – by Wasihun Senbeta Gutema, a former student of mine and a colleague in the harvest field of Christ. Wasihun has presented a unique, simple, understandable piece on being a true student of Christ. The book challenges each of us- preachers, teachers and the followers of Christ- in our state of where we are in our studentship/discipleship process and if we are of course true students that do not quit. The simplicity of the book makes it readable by anyone who aspires to be the true student of Christ. It is at most worth reading! —Bulti Fayissa, pastor and professor of New Testament To embark on writing a book is a courageous beginning, and to finish it is a great accomplishment, especially in a context where writing and reading are rarely part of the culture. By publishing this book, Wasihun Senbeta Gutema has set a good example for many teachers and preachers, as well as other potential writers if we are to effectively share our knowledge with the present generation and preserve a repertoire of lessons for the future generations. I applaud Wasihun for providing A Student in the School of Christ – a revised and coherent compilation of his teachings in the form of a book. The book is a reflection of an experienced, yet aspiring, gospel teacher who has not ceased being a disciple – A Student in the School of Christ. As it describes what it means to be “a student of Christ”, it discerns wrong assumptions about the same. The book is written in a simple-to-follow and understandable style. It is worth reading. —Gutu Olana Wayessa, PhD

The contrast truth is a religious book of more than one volume, with volume 1 having about 280 pages. the book considered the authenticity of some verses in both the Bible and the Quran in other to establish logical points. This book is necessitated by the level of lack of spiritual knowledge and understanding being displays daily by those who call themselves theologians, Academia, spiritual leaders, religious Apologetics and custodian of God’s word in teachings concerning the one and only true God. It clearly compares statements and stories rendered in both books against the backdrop of the believes held by the adherents of the three major religions in the world. The main purpose of this book is to enlighten every spiritual minded person about the truthfulness of the personality of the one and only true God whom all claim to be worshipping in other to bridge the disparities and abate hatred within the society at large. In this book volume one, the true divinity of Jesus Christ as the Messiah was established with clear evidence from the bible and Quran as references. No one has ever pointed this out in history. This book also points out the inconsistences in both the Quran and the Bible against the existing dogma held by their adherents that both are void of such contradictions. This book consists of controversial questions that raises the consciousness of the reader to a degree of better understanding why questing for the truth. Some of these questions asked were answered in this book while the unanswered one will be answered in the next volume. This book is written with an open mind with a great effort to be free of biasness and prejudice but based only on proves from the Bible and Quran. This makes it suitable for academic purpose. It is a potent weapon for Jews, Christians, and Muslim’s apologetics to have during debates whenever it arises. This book is a must have for every home of Jews, Christians and Muslims who seek knowledge about the true personality of Jesus Christ as recorded by all the prophets before him and how the prophet Muhammad words differ in totality. It is a known fact that cannot be disregarded that all the religions in the world believe that there is God. Therefore, if they all claim to know Him, why do they fight each other’s in the bid of fighting for God when God said He will only have mercy upon whom ever He wills. He does not say His mercy will only be for the Jews neither did he say only for the Christians nor did he say for the Muslims only. Let no man boast that him or her own religion is only the right way less such one perishes in their own ignorance. The only right way is to do the will of God. This book was able to prove that both Christianity and Islam as a Nation were promise fulfilled and are in God’s plan just as Jacob and Esau, Isaac and Ishmael were all in God’s plan of restoration of all things. The accurate knowledge of God is an important integer for one’s salvation. Thus, this book breaks it down to the simplest form for a layman to understand and to be well equipped while contending for his or her faith. In this book, a clear distinction was established between the two classes of Christianity that majority of pastors will never talk to their followers about. This is also a very strange subject most people have not heard of in Christianity. The book clearly shines a light on the difference between Jehovah in the Bible and Allah of the Quran. It also differentiates the Almighty God from the Mighty God in the Bible account with a supporting verse in the Quran which the Muslim Imam, the Christians Pastors and the Jewish Rabbis never thought of or are spiritually blinded to. Finally, the book was concluded with the writer’s submissions and advice for the religious fanatics and extremists of all religions to shun violence in the disguise of fighting God’s fight because at the end God says He will have mercy on whom He will irrespective of ones religion.

This collection in five volumes tries to realize the desideratum of a comprehensive interdisciplinary work on the manifold faces and images of Jesus in China, which unites the Sinological, mission-historical, theological, art-historical, and other aspects. The first three volumes (vols. L/1-3) contain articles and texts which discuss the faces and images of Jesus Christ from the Tang dynasty to the present time. In a separate volume (vol. L/4) follows an annotated bibliography of the Western and Chinese writings on Jesus Christ in China and a general index with glossary. The iconography, i.e., the attempts of the Western missionaries and the Chinese to portray Jesus in an artistic way, will be presented in the fifth volume of this collection (vol. L/5).

Following Rabbi Jesus is a surprising exposure of who the Jesus we find in the Gospels really is, what he teaches those who dare to follow him, and how he models what it means to live God's radical-kingdom way. The reader of the book will discover in this exploration a very different Jesus from the celebrity or hero of much popular church culture, the tame, ineffective Jesus of compromised Christianity, and the inaccessible, conceptual Christ of much academic theology. The reader who takes the chance of honestly engaging the Jesus we meet in the Gospel stories may find an engaging and liberating contrast to the life he is now living. He may even want to make a turn or two, and start over.

Jesus Christ is a light that will reveal salvation to the nations... So wrote Luke, the only Gentile writer found in the New Testament Scriptures. Luke saw in Jesus Christ the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy: "Arise! Shine! Your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has dawned. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn." In clearly described themes, Luke takes his readers on a journey of discovery, finding in Jesus Christ, not only the light for Israel, but for people of all nations of the world. "The book you hold in your hands is no dry seminary text, nor is it a feel-good self-help devotional. There is a wealth of information here, presented in a clear and accessible writing style that makes this commentary a great read for new believers and seasoned theologians alike. Luke's Gospel is examined not in a vaccuum, but in the context of the totality of Scripture where frequent references to supporting verses serve as roadsigns, assuring the reader that he is on the right road. This commentary informs and delights!"
