An extraordinary conspiracy of injustice, cruelty, as well as religious and political interests sentenced an innocent man to the cruelest method of execution ever developed. Yet, the target was no mere victim, He was the Redeemer. Jesus as God and man came to die in the place of humanity. The Bible, Talmud, Mishnah, and Roman historians reveal that the Son of God was illegally arrested, tried, and executed. How did such a thing come to be? Who were the spectators, the authorities, frauds, and scoundrels? Why was Christ's arrest illegal under Hebrew law? What was it like at Gethsemane during the arrest, or in the chambers of the chief priest as the interrogations of Jesus took place? What can an apologetics approach, using Hebraic sources, tell us about the meaning of the last words Jesus uttered on the cross? With the massive amount of evidence for the resurrection of Christ, why can we go beyond probability to full certainty that Christ is risen? "Killing Jesus Christ: Engaging The Critics Regarding The Death of Christ" will answer those questions in a way that will keep the pages turning. "In Killing Jesus Christ," Robinson invites you to experience the most stunning injustice in the history of civil law, conjoined to the supreme triumph of the power of God, and the redemption provided by the death of Christ. The author provides a chronological examination that includes a detailed look at everything from rabbinical law to Roman justice to Christ's courtroom declarations of His divinity. This new volume furnishes a readable examination and analysis of the indictments, preliminary proceedings, trials, and execution of Jesus-great for apologetics and the defense of the faith. "Killing Jesus Christ" reveals the truth about: - The Arrest of Jesus Christ -The Various Trials of Christ: An Apologetic Approach -The Errors of the Trendy Critics (Bill O'Reilly, Reza Aslan, Bart Ehrman, etc.) -The First Good Friday and Its Redemptive Provision -The Ancient Rabbinic, Roman, and Non-biblical Historical Accounts -The Proof of the Resurrection of Christ: The Facts within an Assured Rational Framework -Who Really Killed Jesus? -The Evidence of The Historicity of Christ's Life, Death, and Resurrection With all the skeptical assaults on the meaning of the death, life, and resurrection of Christ, this innovative volume is a must for every Christian, minister, and apologist-it will be a book that you will give away many times to friends. This is so because it is serious (it contains informed analysis of relevant biblical truths), rational (it is well-argued), potent (it holds the reader's attention through gripping illustrations), and spiritual (it will set you ablaze for God). The publication of "Killing Jesus Christ" is indeed an event. What is intended here is an account of the arrest, trials, death, and resurrection of Christ which does justice to the full sweep of biblical testimony and the ancient historical sources (the Talmud, Mishnah, Targums, Dead Sea Scrolls, and Roman archives). What is accomplished is something on the order of a vigorous defense of Christian truth-an appropriation of the data, evidence, and facts within a synthesis of the foundational necessity of Christian theism. "Killing Jesus Christ" is a valuable resource for students of the gospels, and a highly stimulating volume for all interested in Christian truth. The section on the harmony of the Gospel accounts, regarding the trials and crucifixion, alone makes this a valuable tool for apologetics. It will be hard to come away from this book without a feeling of having been enriched and challenged. This is a book that will be formative for average Christians and scholars as well as students and pastors-the author is clear, accessible and passionate. Michael A. Robinson, author of dozens of books on apologetics, the long-time pastor of Christ Covenant Church and instructor at CCBS.

Modern Meets Ancient. Tropical Paradise Meets Paranormal Terror.In the year 620, a young Polynesian man named Kaimi arrives on the virgin shores of Hawaii. He is among the first people there, though quickly realizes they aren't alone. Strange company watches on from the trees and shorelines: elemental beings only Kaimi can perceive. Like the dark presence in one particular bay, in the verdant island that will become Kauai.Fifteen-hundred years later, a Mormon mother named Marilyn Toomey-secretly harboring her own sensitivity to such beings-finds herself whisked away with her husband to the remote Huna'ia Resort on Kauai. Though hesitant, Marilyn feels compelled to go-if only because something seems to be calling her there.As their lives drift closer across the centuries, and as they come to fully embrace their talents, Kaimi and Marilyn must pull away from their communities and former beliefs in the face of an empowered and malevolent entity-and the looming threat of utter catastrophe.A thoughtful and beautiful eco-fantasy, Ancient Tides Ashore explores human kinship across time, culture and belief, as well as our relationship to the unknown within-and among-us.

One that would unveil a legend primed to change the world, and rewrite history.

"Hey." With that one word, uttered in the dead of night, young Charlie's life veers down a dark and unbelievable road. Some thirty years later, Dr. Charles Barry teaches physics at a small California college. Only in dreams do those childhood events reach him: the strange presence in the house, the otherworldly visits and the shadow over his beloved older sister, Megan, whose troubled inward life he could only glimpse. That is, until his father dies, and Megan, now an artistic wanderer, comes back into his life. With her come memories of unearthly creatures, a predatory entity, and a harrowing trek behind the walls of the known cosmos in order to save the very essence of his sister. Now, caught once more by the same forces, Charles returns to those places in the hopes of setting certain things right-and to keep Megan from slipping away forever. With Walking the Dusk, Mike Robinson delivers a contemporary Dantean vision, one of both sweepingly surreal vistas and intimate bonds, a mind-and-genre-warping journey into the twin infinities of the universe within, and the universe without.¿"Walking the Dusk is a wonderfully skin-crawling, page-turning blend of Stephen King's IT and Dante's Inferno. Robinson taps into childhood fear and adult understanding for a fantastic descent into madness, loss, and identity." -Peter Clines, New York Times bestselling author of The Broken Room
