Jesus Christ: His Life and Teaching, Vol. 1 The Beginning of the Gospel

This book is an achievement of Orthodox scholarship in recent times. It is not conceived as a biography of Jesus, but instead as a deep and profound study of his life and message. It embraces four dimensions: historical, exegetical, theological, and hermeneutic. Discussions are insightful and complete, so that the reader may grasp the challenges at work in each issue. The aim of the book is twofold: to show the continuity between the Jesus found in the Gospels and the One confessed by the Church, and to prove the trustworthiness of the Gospels as main witnesses to the portrait of Jesus the author intends to draw. This book will have a prominent place among the works devoted to Jesus Christ, not only within the Orthodox Church but also in the whole Christian world.
