Summary
This title reappraises our readings of the Gospels, reinterpreting the story of Jesus's birth, his life as a carpenter and the dramatic events surrounding his arrest and trial. It rescues Jesus from the tangles of Christian history, to present a portrait of the man behind the myth.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Daring, unconventional and scholarly, this book searches for historical reality in the life of Jesus.

What do we know about Jesus, as opposed to the tenets of faith surrounding the miracles? What of the death and resurrection? How and when did Christianity become a separate religion from Judaism? The author seeks answers to these and other questions central to giving Jesus a factual identity.

Wilson argues no particular creed or vision. Instead, he tries to discover the man who became the central figure of Western civilization, the man whose words contain a wisdom that has never ceased to comfort, trouble and challenge the world.

"A first-class inquiry. See also PAUL THE TRAVELLER by Ernle Bradford." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)
