This is a little book about two big questions, the two greatest questions in all of Western theological thought. Does God exist, and is Jesus God? There are no easy answers to these questions and, certainly, they cannot be addressed in such a small work. The answers are a work of a lifetime. Mr. Jungers has devoted twenty-one books to this subject so far, and he feels that he is only skimming the surface. Thomas Aquinas wrote twenty-one large volumes in Latin trying to answer these questions, and, at the end, said that all his writings seemed like straw. Like the Angelic Doctor, Mr. Jungers attempts to answer both questions in the affirmative. Most of the eight billion people in the world would answer the first question, "Does God Exist", with a yes; however, only about one-forth of the people in the world have ever even entertained the second question, "Is Jesus God"? Certain highlights stand out in this book: a series of e-mails on the birth and early years of the life of Jesus of Nazareth (written around the 2004 Christmas season); Jesus in the eyes of the Jews and the Romans; and the meaning of the Lord's Prayer, when it was said early on by his own disciples. One is invited to read this book with the eyes of faith, in the spirit of St. Paul: "If you confess with your lips That Jesus is Lord And believe in your heart That God raised him from the dead, You will be saved." (Rm 10:9)
