| Résumé : |
Jesus Christ is a crucial figure of history. Today he is worshipped as God by millions, and his teaching continues to influence individuals, even whole societies. His life has been dramatized and written about many times; he is the star of film and musicai.
Dr John Drane, lecturer in Religious Studies at Stirling University, does not simply retell the familiar story. He asks searching questions. How does Jesus fit into the time in which he lived? Why did he teach in parables? Who recorded all the events of his life? Are those records accurate? And why did he die ...? This book is both faithful to New Testament evidence and fully aware of modern scholarship. It is thorough, reliable and readable. Separate articles, in small type, deal with more technical subjects. The clear presentation of the book makes it suitable for both the individual reader and for use in schools and colleges. |
