Jesus of Nazareth Savior and King

By Duane S. Crowther

Little is known about the life of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. What we do know comes from the four Gospels of the New Testament, written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. For those of us who are not Bible scholars, it can be a challenge to understand Bible language and combine all the events into one chronologically correct volume.?+

Jesus of Nazareth, skillfully written by best-selling author Duane Crowther, examines the Savior's life in a precise, chronological order, period by period, with seasons, locations, and tentative dating for every event. It cross-references each period to chapters in three major works on the life of Christ: Edersheim's The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, Farrar's The Life of Christ, and Talmage's Jesus the Christ. Seminary and institute teachers will benefit from its use as they teach the New Testament, and students of the Bible will find it indispensible once they begin reading its message.?+

For a precise review and a deeper knowledge of the life of Jesus Christ, open the pages of Jesus of Nazareth and add meaning to your scripture study. By doing so, you will grow to love and understand the Savior, His life, and His ministry as never before.?+
