Description
Jesus is not simply a present reality. If He were we could push and pull Him this way and that and turn Him into whatever guru we want at the moment. N.T Wright asks who was Jesus in first century Palestine? What was His agenda? Why on earth did He get executed? What, so soon after His death, caused His followers to come up with such fantastic claims about Him? These questions and more will be examined as Wright explores the historical Jesus.
N. Thomas Wright is Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, and was formerly Bishop of Durham in England. His books include The Original Jesus, The Challenge of Jesus, Jesus and the Victory of God and The Millennium Myth.
