Description
This text presents a succinct and balanced account of Jesus Christ, from which the reader can draw his or her own conclusions. From a sympathetic yet objective viewpoint, Jesus is considered not only as the most significant figure of the Christian faith, but his standing as a Jew is given great prominence. Martin Forward assesses his importance in scripture and considers the impact that Jesus continues to effect now and in the future, both within the Christian traditions and beyond.
