This fascinating addition to the best-selling Who Was...? series does not
settle questions of theology. Instead, it presents young readers with a
biography that covers what is known historically about Jesus and places in his
life in the context of his world when Jerusalem was part of the Roman Empire. In
an even-handed and easy-to-read narrative, this title—illustrated with eighty
black-and-white drawings—also explains the early origins of Christianity and how
it became a major religion.
