"The Restitution: Biblical Proof Jesus Is Not God" may be the most comprehensive, well-documented, and biblically in-depth yet accessible examination
...
of Jesus of Nazareth ever published that affirms all that the church has proclaimed about him except that he is not God. Cites 400+ scholars. With non-technical language and a conservative view of the inspiration of the Bible, Zarley shows from it that (1) Jesus never claimed to be God, (2) his disciples didn't say he was God in their many evangelistic messages in the book of Acts, and (3) most major texts cited to prove Jesus is God have grammatical problems that result in alternate readings in Bible versions. In sum, "The Restitution" seeks to restore to Jesus his identity as a man who was essentially subordinate to the one and only God, the Father Almighty.Endorsements:"A mortal wound to the doctrine of the Trinity. . . . a towering work that will stand for a long time." Dr. James Tabor, University of North Carolina at Charlotte"Needs to be read by every pastor in the land. . . . A tour de force . . . extensive documentation." Sir Anthony Buzzard, Professor emeritus of New Testament, Atlanta Bible College"No one can read this book without being challenged." Dr. Scot McKnight, Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary near Chicago"The approach is thorough and systematic, but the style is very readable. . . . it's the best Unitarian apologetic on the market." David Burke, Pastor-Teacher, Australia"Absolutely outstanding scholarship displayed in this book. . . . This was a book that I have been craving for so long and kept telling myself that needed to be written." Bassam Zawadi, Muslim apologist, Saudi Arabia.
