At last, here is a book that doesn't pretend to tell the true story about Jesus' life but presents a wide spectrum of what has been written about the historical Jesus, including works by non-Christian authors. Confronted by many different views and interpretations of what Jesus may have done or said, the reader is invited to use his own judgment to decide what appears to be the most credible image of this extraordinary man - the one who Christians proclaim to be the Son of God.

I really enjoyed reading this book and discovering many aspects about Jesus the man and the sociological context in which he lived. I particularly appreciated that this book has no theological agenda. It presents conflicting views of Jesus'life, yet no sides are taken.
