Jesus for the Layman

The question: 'Can you convince the reader Jesus is the
Son of God?' Neil Cullan McKinlay picks up the gauntlet thrown down by a friend seeking the definitive answer to a question which has tested theologians for centuries. One man claimed to be 'the way, the truth, and the life'. He was nailed to a cross and cried out in dying despair: 'My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?' Make no mistake: To understand precisely what happened here is to accept responsibility for your part in this. With this book, you will face a choice. Be careful what you wish for. The author - The answer: Neil Cullan McKinlay, is a Scots-Canadian who lives in Australia, where he is a chaplain in the Australian Defence Force. He is the author of 28 books, produced with his trademark touch of reducing elusive complexities to accessible simplicities. His path to Christ took him from his native Scotland to the harsh winters of Manitoba where he was given a book as a gift, the Bible. It was to be the gift of life. His ministry is characterised by the shipyard wit of his Scottish inheritance, and the robust thought conferred by the Reformation. Without ostentation and with Calvinist clarity, his work persists in turning everything to the service of Christ; yet he claims no credit for it. 'Can you convince the reader Jesus is the Son of God?' he is asked. His answer is simple: 'Let me be up front. I don't believe that I am able to do so. Only God can do that. However, God uses means to convince people of things.'
This book is such an instrument.
