In this vibrant and engaging work, the author delves into the social, historical, cultural, and political context of events occurring in first-century CE Palestine. A fascinating narrative-discussion about the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth, his influence not only on his contemporaries, but also on those who live in the postmodern era of today, will arouse interest both among Christians and those just beginning to be interested in issues of the Christian faith. The book is intended for a wide range of readers.
