Explore the human genius of Jesus Christ and how his life challenges our view of him.
This thoughtful study argues that understanding Christ as a historical man of remarkable insight matters for truth, faith, and daily living.
This edition surveys how Christ’s portrayal in the Gospels blends vivid humanity with divinely inspired claims. It weighs two paths for knowing him—the mystic tradition and a more grounded, human understanding—illustrating how parables and scenes reveal character, motive, and meaning without losing the mystery at the center of his life.
- Learn how great parables like the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son illuminate character, love, and moral insight.
- See how the author treats Christ’s self-understanding, his claims, and his relationship with God the Father.
- Discover how the Holy Spirit, intercession, and the promise of divine presence are presented as part of Christ’s ongoing work in the world.
Ideal for readers who want a clear, historical perspective on Jesus, balanced with reflections on faith and devotion. The book invites open-minded discussion about who Christ was and what his life reveals about truth and humanity.
