Son of Man: A Biography of Jesus

By Henry H. Harris

Book Overview

Two thousand years have passed since Jesus came to earth. Innumerable books have been written about him, and he has been portrayed as everything from a kindly but confused Jewish peasant to a rabid revolutionary. Recent books about the life of Christ have been skeptical of the Bible and have used Jewish and Roman texts as their primary sources. This biography takes a different approach. It accepts the Gospels as what they claim to be: eyewitness accounts of the words and deeds of the Messiah. Religious and secular history books can provide valuable insights into Jesus's world, but to understand the man himself, the best sources are the ancient narratives written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. This book harmonizes the four Gospels to tell the story of Jesus's ministry years. The geography, climate, politics, racism, social norms, religion, traditions, economics, morality, language, and customs of the second temple era play key roles. All of Jesus's recorded words and actions are included, and duplicate accounts have been harmonized.

Know the SON of MAN

Son Of Man: A Biography Of JESUS is a great book about JESUS. It starts out talking about John the Baptist. The author is very detailed - he told me things I forgot about - things like with John - he was filled with the HOLY SPIRIT while he was in the womb - there were only two others that were filled with the HOLY SPIRIT in the womb - can you guess who they were? It was Samuel and Samson. Did you get it right? He goes into details like exactly where John the Baptist Baptized and Witnessed. He tells exact geological information of where things happened - so much information you may not - most likely not have known - it is so wonderful this book - there is Scripture for everything. I received a copy of this book from the Publisher and Netgalley; all of the opinions expressed in this review are all my own. if you would like to read more of my Christian book reviews go to christianlybookreviewiers.blogspot.com
