Very God

Was Jesus merely a teacher—or is He truly God?

Christianity stands or falls on its answer to this question.

Very God presents a careful, accessible case for the divinity of Jesus Christ and the coherence of the Trinity. Rather than asking readers to begin with unquestioning faith, it examines the evidence using historical investigation, biblical interpretation and clear philosophical reasoning.

The book explores three foundational questions:

• What can history reliably tell us about Jesus of Nazareth?
• Did Jesus claim to be God, and did His earliest followers understand Him that way?
• How can Christians believe that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are distinct while affirming that there is only one God?

Drawing on the New Testament, early Christian testimony, Roman and Jewish sources, archaeology and the development of historic Christian doctrine, Very God considers the crucifixion, the empty tomb, the resurrection, the worship of Jesus by the earliest Christians and the biblical foundations of the Trinity.

It also addresses major objections, including whether Jesus’ divinity was a later invention, whether important passages have been mistranslated and whether the doctrine of the Trinity is logically contradictory.

Written for believers seeking a stronger foundation, sceptics willing to examine the evidence and anyone who has ever asked who Jesus truly is, Very God offers a serious but readable defence of Christianity’s central claim:

Jesus Christ is God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God.
