Jesus Before the Gospels

Résumé : Jesus also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus Christ, was a first-century Jewish preacher and religious leader. He is the central figure of Christianity, the world's largest religion. Throughout much of human history, our most important stories were passed down orally—including the stories about Jesus before they became written down in the Gospels. In this fascinating and deeply researched work, a leading Bible scholar investigates the role oral history has played in the New Testament—how the telling of these stories not only spread Jesus’ message but helped shape it.
