| The CHANGING FACES OF JESUS |
| PRICE : £ 18.99 |
| By GEZA VERMES Published: Allen Lane, Penguin, 274pp World renowned scholar Geza Vermes explores the New Testament writings about Jesus that have subsequently defined two millennia of Christian belief, worship and speculation. With unique authority and insight, Vermes treats these early accounts as an authentic part of the first century Jewish world, and so transforms our understanding of Jesus. Beginning with the elevated divine figure of Christ presented in the most recent Gospel, the Gospel of John, Vermes invites the reader to join him on a fascinating journey back through successively earlier accounts of the life of Jesus. He is finally able to reveal the true, historical figure of Jesus hidden beneath the oldest Gospels. |
