Issue 59. The Life & Times of Jesus of Nazareth
Summary
The search for the "historical Jesus" rarely has been friendly to the biblical witness, choosing to side with critical reason over divine revelation. This argument over Jesus' identity has been raging for centuries—Who was Jesus of Nazareth, and is he the "Christ of faith?"
Christian History & Biography builds a foundation for answering this very question by investigating the various dimensions of daily life in 1st century Palestine. This issue offers well-researched material on literary genres, social hierarchies, racial divisions, political corruption, false messiahs, travel and more from the time of Jesus.
