Description
The Changing Faces of Jesus by Geza Vermes is an authoritative and thought-provoking work that transforms our understanding of Jesus. By exploring both New Testament and non-biblical Jewish writings, Vermes reveals the differing portrayals of Jesus that have defined two millennia of Christian belief and speculation.
Starting with the most recent Gospel, the Gospel of John, Vermes takes us back in time to uncover the historical figure of Jesus hidden beneath the oldest Gospels. He examines how a charismatic Palestinian holy man was elevated into the divine figure of Christ, shedding new light on this pivotal moment in history.
