Jesus Through the Centuries

About this book

One of the most highly regarded works of intellectual history of the past decade, Jesus Through the Centuries is an original and compelling study of the impact of Jesus on cultural, political, social, and economic history. Noted historian and theologian Jaroslav Pelikan reveals how the image of Jesus created by each successive epoch, from rabbi in the first century to liberator in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, is a key to understanding the temper and values of that age.
