Description:

Jesus the Christ
His Story

Expanded to include the Culture, Politics, and the Personal Relationships That Shaped His World

Come explore the life of Jesus in this new biography that harmonizes and synthesizes the four Gospels from the Bible in chronological order. In vivid detail, it weaves in the first-century setting--historical, societal, and political perspectives of the time with contemporary readability. Well researched and finely crafted, this book will provide you with a new understanding of Jesus--an obscure rabbi with a handful of followers whose imprint is found in every generation that came after him.

Here is a superb introduction to the most significant person in human history as well as a fascinating new approach to Jesus' story for those very familiar with the original biographers' accounts.

A Remarkable Rendition of a Remarkable Story!
