An objective approach to the "historical Jesus" presents the facts of Jesus and his ministry and identifies those stories and details that have their origins in legend or tradition. 25,000 first printing.
What are the facts about the life of Jesus, as opposed to the myths, or unprovable tenets of faith surrounding the miracles, death, and resurrection? How and when did Christianity become a separate religion from the Judaism into which Jesus was born? To what extent was his power over contemporaries political rather than religious? A. N. Wilson's answers to these questions will fascinate readers of every shade of faith or skepticism.
