There are thousands of
books written about Christ, but this one addresses the subject from a unique perspective.
Few people take the time to pore through biblical encyclopedias or carefully compare the
texts which biblical scholars make their life study. The controversial aspects of biblical
history are generally played down in all the church denominations, and church-goers are
rarely helped to make connections with other events that were happening at the time of
Christ. The information in this book comes not only from the gospels themselves but from
standard and biblical encyclopedias and texts plus items of oral tradition as well. By
integrating facts from these diverse sources to present an enriched portrait of Christ in
His time, I trust that I am providing valuable and intriguing insights to the reader. We
all can benefit from gaining a fuller picture of the personage upon whom Christianity was
founded, and it is my aim to add to that fascinating subject.
