About this book

The figure of Jesus is of singular significance in the modern Christian tradition -- but what do we actually know about his life as a man? In this wide-ranging review of the literature, journalist and politician John Mackinnon Robertson digs into the historical record to create a composite vision of Jesus and assess the credibility of the scant information we do have.
