Nearly two thousand years have passed since the days when 'the carpenter's son,' Jesus of Nazareth walked the roads of Palestine, teaching his Good News as often on the shores of lakes and atop mountains as in synagogues. Still, today, we must ask, Who is this man? In Jesus the Christ, a revision of his popular Jesus is Lord!, Thomas Zanzig explores in clear, nontechnical language the life, times, and significnace of that teacher, the one called simply Jesus in his own time, but who is now recognized by more than a third of the world's population as the Christ, the anointed one sent by God to bring fulness of life.
