The Jesus of History

Originally published in 1917, The Jesus of History was prepared for the British Student Christian Movement. It comprises ten detailed chapters examining the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of any Christian theologian or historian, it also contains a wealth of information and anecdote that is still useful and relevant today. Contents Include: The study of the gospels; Childhood and youth; The man and his mind; The teacher and the disciples; The teaching of Jesus upon God; Jesus and man; Jesus’ teaching upon sin; The choice of the cross; The Christian church in the Roman Empire; Jesus in Christian thought. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

T. R. Glover (1869-1943) began his academic career studying ancient history, and this early interest became the clear and substantial basis for his later work in New Testament studies. He was the author of major books on Jesus, Paul, the world of the New Testament, as well as on numerous classical themes and topics.
