Description
How relevant is Jesus today? Few figures have had such an influence on history. His teachings have inspired discussion, arguments, even war - and yet few have ever held forth as movingly on the need for peace, forgiveness and mercy. Paul Johnson's brilliant reading offers readers a lively biography of the man who inspired one of the world's great religions and whose lessons still guide people in current times.
