Of the thousands of books about the life of Jesus of Nazareth, most tell us what the faithful believe about him...or more accurately, what they've been told to believe he said, did and what it means!
What, however, can be said about the real-life Jesus? Did he ever really live at all, or is the story of Jesus a myth? Did he actually say what's in the New Testament Gospels, or are all the words there merely attributed to him? And does anything purported to be his message, his Good News, have any relevance to the people of the 21st Century?
In this latest work by researcher, educator and activist Rick Lannoye, the answers to these and many other related questions are confronted directly! Relying on the best methods of scholarly research, Lannoye has pieced together what may prove to be the most historically reliable picture to date of what Jesus of Nazareth was really like, what he really said and, then, shares his heart-felt conclusions about what his actual teachings mean for us today.
