Do not hesitate if you wonder about this book: it devours like a novel and content is extremely RICH. This excellent historian uses the texts of the Gospels and other writings of the same period to render a helpful life of Jesus, we explain every detail of his career and shed light on many aspects that seem to obscure even the most fervent Christians. It emerges through the story, a man of flesh and blood in the midst of a people; but not that. Surprising and exciting.
