Publisher's Synopsis
This book has been written to give people, both within and without the Christian Church, an opportunity to take a fresh look at Jesus of Nazareth. It aims at making him "come alive" for people today. It does that through a careful analysis of the Biblical data and through the provision of exercises that challenge the reader to interact with Jesus' ideas and to respond to his claims. It puts the reader, as it were, into the shoes both of the people who followed Jesus and of those who opposed him. Sixteen first person accounts re-create Biblical history in an imaginative but accurate way. It amplifies Jesus' teaching in such a way that the meaning of what he was talking about comes through to the reader. MAN ON A MISSION: THE LIFE & WORK OF JESUS, THE CHRIST is an inspiring and creative resource for all who would like to know more about this key figure in human history.
