Title: Jesus. Latest research. Treatise on Jesus of Nazareth Subtitle: Volume II: Who do you say I am?
Is the Jesus of the Gospels a late mythical construction or the most documented and transcendent historical figure of antiquity?
In this second volume of the monumental Treatise on Jesus of Nazareth, researcher Jesús Fernández-Pedrera Correa breaks down the latest evidence to answer the fundamental question that has defined two millennia of history: "Who do you say I am?"
A Bold Challenge to the Modern Academic Consensus This volume does not settle for repeating established formulas. It boldly deconstructs the "Two-Source Hypothesis" and exposes the non-existence of the "Q Source"?the phantom piece of modern academia that lacks a single fragment of physical evidence or historical mention by the Church Fathers. Instead, the author recovers the priority of Matthew and the robust reliability of the Jewish oral tradition, the Mesorah, as the high-fidelity vehicle that preserved Jesus' words and deeds with mathematical precision.
Divinity Under the Microscope of History Through a forensic analysis of primary sources, this work demonstrates that Jesus' claim to divinity was not a later invention but a consistent pattern in his own words and actions. From the enigmatic "I Am" statements that evoke the divine name revealed to Moses, to his exercise of exclusively divine prerogatives?such as the forgiveness of sins and authority over the Law?readers will discover a figure who presents himself with unprecedented authority.
