About this audiobook
A historically careful and faith-sensitive biography of Jesus in Roman Judea and Galilee, distinguishing limited historical reconstruction from Gospel theology and living Christian belief.
Why it's worth a listen
It explains why Jesus is both a first-century Jewish teacher studied by historians and the Christ confessed by Christians, without asking one method to erase the other.
