Summary:
Is Jesus relevant to us today? Few figures have had such an influence on history as Jesus of Nazareth. His teachings have inspired discussion, arguments, even war, and yet few have ever held forth as movingly on the need for peace, forgiveness, and mercy. Paul Johnson's book offers readers a lively biography of the one who inspired one of the world's great religions and whose lessons still guide us in current times.
