Jesus

What do we know about Jesus? Although the gospels are not historically reliable reports, our knowledge is not so little. Jens Schröter shows what we learn from Jewish, Roman and early Christian sources about the Jew from Galilee who proclaimed the dawning reign of God, healed the sick, spoke in parables and was crucified around the year 30. He explains the historical context, explores the different interpretations of Jesus' life and death, and describes how a new religion gradually emerged from this.
