    About Jesus

    The definitive life of Jesus from the bestselling author of A History of Christianity.

    Few figures have had such an influence on the world as Jesus of Nazareth. Paul Johnson’s brilliant and powerful reading of Jesus’ life at once captures his transfiguring message and his historical complexity. With a superb historian’s command of his subject, a masterly writer’s love of language, and a believer’s passion, Johnson presents a lucid and deeply moving biography of a man whose life changed the course of history. Jesus offers readers a succinct yet lively account of the man who inspired one of the world’s great religions and whose lessons still guide us today.

    About Jesus

    From the bestselling author and acclaimed historian, a powerful portrayal of the life of Jesus

    Is Jesus relevant to us today? Few figures have had such an influ­ence on history as Jesus of Nazareth. 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 us in current times.

    Johnson’s magisterial and revered book A History of Christianity is a masterpiece of historical writing on religion; and in his new book he returns to focus on a central figure in one of the world’s dominant religions. Johnson’s intelligent and conver­sational style, as well as his ability to distill complex subjects into succinct, highly readable works, make this book the ideal match of a major historian with a major subject. The result is an accessible biography and an insightful analysis of how Jesus is important in the present era.
