Book Synopsis

The bestselling Orbis classic, with a new foreword by Sister Helen Prejean. Nolan's portrait of Jesus introduces us to the man as he was before he became enshrined in doctrine, dogma, and ritual, a man deeply involved with the real problems of his time-which are the real problems of our time as well. As the author says, "Nothing about Jesus will be presupposed or assumed. . . . My interest is in the man as he was before he became the object of Christian faith.
