What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

This book, the author tells us, arose out of feelings of irritation and amazement which came to him after an Advent service. Irritation, because the congregation sang of the prophets who foretold Christ, whereas modern scholarship has taught us that these prophets did not have miraculous foreknowledge of the future; moreover, such a view is basically antisemitic, presupposing that the Jews were blind and hard of heart in rejecting a Messiah so clearly announced. Amazement, that a pious Jew crucified as a criminal two thousand years earlier was celebrated all over the world as risen Lord. How could this be? Answering that question leads Lucas Grollenberg to look again at the messianic prophecies, the political and spiritual background to the life of Jesus, at Easter and Pentecost and the new community to which they gave rise, and its adoption of scriptures old and new. Finally, he considers what Jesus can truly be said to fulfil. Those who have enjoyed Fr Grollenberg's Jesus, Paul and other books will welcome this new work, which has all the clarity and charm of its predecessors.
