The Impact of Jesus of Nazareth: Historical, Theological and Pastoral Perspectives

$66.00

Despite his relatively short life and his tragic death, Jesus of Nazareth made a profound impact upon the first-century Graeco-Roman world. Almost immediately after he died, the ‘good news’ about him was first announced, only to spread like a tidal wave across that world, before eventually transforming it almost entirely. As that impact continued, the new-found freedoms discovered in the risen Son and proclaimed to Jew and Gentile alike, took concrete shape in the freedoms at the core of Western Civilization. Wherever his heritage is celebrated and remembered, Jesus of Nazareth continues to make an impact.
