There is no denying the importance of Jesus Christ in the history of humankind. He has walked through the last two thousand years of history, of empires, governments, political systems and philosophies and has remained as a dominant, challenging, yet mysterious presence. In The Life, J. John and Chris Walley achieve an uncommon blend - a serious book for popular use and a popular book for serious reading. If you want to know who Jesus Christ is, then read The Life and be rewarded.
