This portrait of Jesus is unmistakably clear, convincing, challenging, and different. We are introduced to the man as he was before he became enshrined in doctrines, dogmas, and ritual. Nothing is assumed; the historical evidence about Jesus is allowed to speak for itself. Here is a man who was deeply involved with the real problems of his time which turn out to be the real problems of our time too.

Work Description

Nolan's portrait introduces readers to Jesus as He was before He became enshrined in doctrine, dogma, and ritual, a man deeply involved with the real problems of His time, which are the real problems of our time as well. In a new preface, Nolan reflects on recent work in Christology and how a book written in South Africa in 1976 still has a message for people today.
