Firstborn: Exposing the Myth of Pre-existence (A Synoptical Examination)

Description

— Steve Martin, compilation editor

Did Jesus exist before Bethlehem – or did His story truly begin in Mary’s womb?

For centuries, Christianity has assumed that Jesus lived eternally in heaven before becoming human. That belief is rarely questioned. But what if Scripture tells a different story?

In Firstborn: Exposing the Myth of Pre-existence, Steve Martin invites readers to take a fresh, careful look at the Bible’s testimony about Jesus’ origin. Examining the Gospels, Paul’s letters, and key Old Testament passages, this book reconsiders the verses most often used to support pre-existence and asks whether tradition has spoken louder than Scripture.

What emerges is not a diminished Christ, but a magnified one. Jesus is revealed as a real man whose life began at conception, who lived by faith, learned obedience through suffering, and trusted HIS Father completely – even unto death. His exaltation was not a return to former glory, but God’s response to a life of perfect faithfulness. He becomes the first glorified human and the trailblazer of a new humanity.
Written with clarity and humility, Firstborn challenges long-held assumptions without hostility or fear. It is not about winning arguments, but about clearing away tradition so the glory of God and the faithfulness of Jesus can be seen more clearly.

If you’re ready to examine what Scripture actually says – and to see Jesus not as a divine impersonator, but as the faithful Man Whom God exalted – this book will both challenge and encourage you.
