Description

Dr. Jean-Pierre Isbouts revolutionary look at the life of Christ (as a grass-roots reformer) draws on new evidence from historical and archeological records, in addition to close readings of the canonical and Gnostic Gospels. With reference to modern economic, forensic and psychological models, Isbout discusses how Jesus early experiences galvanised his mission as a social activist and religious rebel. Considered text, colour photographs and artwork reproductions will appeal to scholars, skeptics and believers alike.
