Jesus

Jesus is one of the most influential figures of all time. But who was he? What can we know about him? And how has he helped shape human history? Keene offers a clear portrait of the founder of Christianity by showing us the world in which Jesus lived, covering such topics as life under the Romans, Jewish beliefs and festivals, and life in Galilee. In the chapter on Jesus Through History, the author discusses Jesus and women, Jesus and Judaism, Jesus and Islam, and Jesus in Film.
