Original Language: French
That this biography, first published in French in 1994, is "unconventional" derives in part from the paucity of historical sources. The task of constructing a biography of Jesus is both imaginative and controversial; much has been written (and passionately believed) about this character, though little is known. Duquesne returns to the biographical form, largely abandoned when it comes to Jesus as a subject, because of its popular accessibility. The result is a summary of scholarly research that, though it does not set out to replace that research (or, wisely, even attend to all of it), makes it more widely accessible--and may provoke readers to explore it further.
