N.T. Wright, one of the premier scholars investigating the life of Jesus today, thinks we have nothing to fear and much to learn from a historical study of Jesus. The Jesus he unveils has his feet solidly planted in first-century Palestine and yet rings deeply true to the resurrected Christ of Christian belief, worship and experience.
This Jesus comes to us as one known and yet unknown, a man with a familiar profile and yet with features we have never noticed. Wright's account of Jesus us sure to grip readers with its clarity and its full accounting of the facts. Wright compels us to rethink our standard images of Jesus so that we will never read the Gospels in the same way again.
For those who don't know much about Jesus, this book launches the discovery of a lifetime.
For those who do know Jesus, this book unveils exciting new perspectives that clearly echo Jesus' challenge to follow him.
For those who have studied nearly everything about Jesus, this book reinvigorates the quest to know Jesus more fully and join in shaping the world as his disciple.
