Description
The Nativity, Passion and Resurrection are the pivotal events in the life of Jesus, shaping the Christian tradition. Geza Vermes, a renowned biblical historian, brings together his acclaimed works on the life of Jesus in this comprehensive volume. Vermes examines the circumstances surrounding Jesus' birth, from the prophetic star to Herod's decree, and reevaluates the arrest, trial, and execution of this charismatic figure. He also analyses Jesus' crucifixion and the subsequent sightings of him by his disciples, drawing on the New Testament, Jewish documents, and classical literature and history. By separating myth from fact, Vermes penetrates the deeper meanings of the story of Christ, providing a nuanced understanding of these epoch-making events.
