In The Original Jesus biblical historian Tom Wright focuses on key stages in the life of Jesus, and key elements of his teaching, revealing a vivid reconstruction of what Jesus himself was aiming to achieve, and how the movement he began can best be understood in relation to the turbulent politics and fervent aspirations of his day.
Tom Wright also looks at the way we interpret the different Gospel narratives about Jesus, showing how modern readers coming fresh to these texts can do so in an informed and discriminating way.
Written in a lively, non-technical style, and illustrated throughout with full-colour photographs, The Original Jesus offers a compelling insight into what Jesus really stood for, why he was crucified, and how it was that his followers came to regard him as nothing less than the human face of God.

Review:
Booklist
"The Original Jesus is a popular account of the research of an important critic of the Jesus Seminar and includes a fine annotated bibliography. . . An excellent starting point for newcomers to historical Jesus research as well as a popular snapshot of current discussion for those already familiar with the debate."

CBA Marketplace
"There's nothing I've read more concisely stated or more beautifully illustrated."

Library Journal
"The chapters are brief and easily read, presenting Jesus in the context of the political turmoil and messianic expectations of the times. . . Well written and easily read. . . Highly recommended."

National Catholic Reporter
"Well-written . . . a cultural analysis of some of the stories by and about Jesus that sheds new light on the familiar tales. . . Gorgeously presented, richly illustrated and visually pleasing as well as intellectually stimulating."
