A Search for the Historical Jesus

A Search for the Historical Jesus is a succinct, remarkably extensive and highly informative compilation of historical, theological and political science insights. The life of Jesus is examined from his birth in Nazareth 2,000 years ago, the putative son of a Jewish carpenter named Joseph and a woman named Mary. The book shows Jesus within the Jewish context of his life: circumcision on his eighth day and his performance before the elders at the age of 12. The story continues with the ministry of Jesus at the age of 30. Following his death, Jesus' followers believe that he was resurrected. In the following years, as history shows, Christianity develops from Judaism into a separate religion.
