{ "item_title" : "The Three Witnesses of Christ", "item_author" : [" Taylor Halverson "], "item_description" : "What if the New Testament itself provides three independent witnesses that establish who Jesus Christ is? What if we learned to hear each witness separately before bringing them together? The Three Witnesses of Christ by Taylor Halverson, Ph.D. presents a fresh framework for reading the Gospels and the New Testament by organizing the evidence about Jesus into three distinct voices: What Jesus said.What Jesus did.What those who saw Him testified. Drawing on the biblical principle that truth is established through the testimony of two or three witnesses, this book demonstrates how the New Testament itself follows that pattern. Jesus is revealed through His words, His actions, and the testimony of disciples, crowds, opponents, apostles, and later witnesses who encountered Him. When these witnesses are studied separately and then reunited, a clearer and more comprehensive picture of Jesus emerges.
