The Jesus Story

What was Jesus of Nazareth really like? Whatever our faith, there are few more interesting questions. Here is a book that makes use of the recent advances in research to consider honestly the facts surrounding Jesus' life and death. The result: a reliable and vivid portrait of Jesus' life as it would have been seen by His contemporaries. We see the challenge and novelty of Jesus in his actual setting. We read about Jesus' parties: joyful, relaxed, leisurely, and profoundly healing, a symbol of all He stood for. And we are given an honest analysis of His central significance for us today. The Jesus Story does not stop short of the most perplexing of questions: did Jesus really rise from the dead to give us life? In this account, we are given reliable information about the factuality and meaning of the Resurrection. The evidence is sifted; the author also sheds light on the media's inability to handle that evidence. The Jesus Story will appeal to anyone who would like to get some "feel" for how Jesus - in His teaching, His company, His relatonships. His challenge and activity - came across to His contemporaries, and to know what significance is claimed for Jesus' life in our very different age. --- from book's back cover
