About the Book
On the eve of his crucifixion it seemed like Jesus' influence on the world had ended. On the contrary, it had just begun. Ortberg reveals how Jesus has impacted civilization and individual human hearts.Book Synopsis
The day after Jesus' death, whatever small mark he made on the world seemed destined to disappear. Instead, his impact on human history has been unparalleled, leading believers and nonbelievers alike to ask, Who Is This Man?
In Who Is This Man, bestselling author John Ortberg explores the paradox of Jesus, history's most familiar figure while simultaneously the man no one knows. Who Is This Man traces Jesus' incredible life and legacy from his days on Earth to the present moment, showing us:
- How his vision of life continues to haunt and challenge humanity
- The ways his influence has inspired movements in art, science, government, medicine, and education
- How his lessons about dignity, compassion, forgiveness, and hope continue to influence humanity
Join John Ortberg as he shares how Jesus' influence has swept over history and how his vision of life continues to impact us today.
Praise for Who Is This Man?:
"Sometimes in the clutter and noise of 'religion, ' we lose sight of who Jesus is. Once again, John Ortberg helps us do what he does best: he helps us see God as he really is and connect with him amid all the noise. This book is a gift."
--Dr. Henry Cloud, psychologist, coauthor of the bestselling Boundaries books
"We live in a period where the divide between the secular and the sacred has never been greater. Who Is This Man? bridges this gap by sharing in his inimitable and entertaining style the undeniable and profound impact of Jesus Christ on our world. His impact, over two thousand years later, is more profound on the day-to-day lives of people--believers or not--than the impact of any other person at any point in history. John shows how Christ came to teach us how to live and in the process changed the world forever and for good."
--Ron Johnson, CEO, J. C. Penney
