Jesus: A Biography from a Believer

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.

Paul Johnson's many books, including A History of Christianity, A History of the Jews, Modern Times, Churchill, and Napoleon- A Penguin Life, have been hailed as masterpieces of historical analysis. He is a regular columnist for Forbes and The Spectator, and his work has also appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and many others publications. He lives in London.
