JesusWho was the real Jesus? There have been countless tellings of the life of Jesus Christ but can we ever know what really happened? Here renowned historian Michael Grant analyses the stories behind the Gospels to give perhaps the most perceptive account of Jesus' life and bring us as near as we may come to the truth about his upbringing, relationships, teachings, miracles and final days in Jerusalem. Even more intriguingly, Dr Grant allows us a glimpse of the character and motivations of Jesus himself. Book jacket. |
