DESCRIPTION

Jesus of Nazareth is unquestionably one of the greatest figures of history, a man of immeasurable influence on the world. But reactions to him differ widely. While for many he is the very incarnation of God on earth and the source of salvation, for others he is at best a wise teacher and great moralist, at worst a dangerous fanatic and advocate of a religion that has long had its day.

 Today his followers number more than 2 billion around the world. So who was Jesus, and what did he teach and why? The One-Stop Guide to Jesus offers a highly visual guide to this amazing man - his life, work and background. Written in a lively and accessible style and illustrated throughout with full-colour maps and photos, the book tells us how we know what we know about him, and outlines the key themes of his life and teaching. Attractively laid out with many special features, it is the perfect resource for anyone intrigued by the character of Jesus and his message.
