Sui Generis: How the Biblical Portrait of Jesus Still Stands after Three Centuries of Negative Higher Criticism

Overview Have you ever considered why the brightest minds of skeptical theology and biblical studies lack consensus regarding Jesus’ true identity? Have you ever wondered why theology departments continue to exist in countries where the evangelical population has dwindled to remnant numbers? In Sui Generis, Brett Seybold meticulously uncovers the lack of consensus among negative higher critics as well as their peculiar inability to abandon the task of making sense of Jesus. Seybold argues that supposed scientific and historical approaches seeking to explain Jesus are fueled primarily by metaphysical naturalism and novelty, ultimately demonstrating that Jesus Christ transcends negative higher criticism, treating Him in a way that is completely unprecedented. Seybold highlights how the gates of hell are not prevailing over Christ’s church.  978-0-89900-057-2 WEB-057 About the Author As a Timothy of First Christian Church in Meadville, PA, Brett Seybold earned degrees from Cincinnati Bi
