Summary

Jesus of Nazareth never had a formal education, never traveled farther than 100 miles from his birthplace, only had a three year public ministry; and he only collected a small following of uneducated disciples who abandoned him at his death. Yet 2000 years later modern people continue to find their curiosity piqued by this ancient man. But who is Jesus? Was he simply a moral teacher? A menace? A madman? A myth? Or the Messiah? James Rochford evaluates and assesses the evidence for the historical Jesus.
