HarperPaperbacks, 1996 - 183 pagine
"In Who is Jesus?, Crossan explains Jesus in a purely factual way, relying on the actual historical record as much as possible, to aid readers in a fuller and more accurate understanding of what kind of man Jesus was, what kind of world he lived in, and the legacy of his teachings to humankind. In answer to questions about Jesus that he has been asked from all over the world, Crossan addresses every subject from Jesus' conception to the miracles, his baptism, his resurrection, and more. In this extraordinary book, Crossan helps us understand the life and death of Jesus in a way that goes far beyond the Gospels and the legend, and lights the way to a greater appreciation of Jesus' lasting impact on our lives"--Back cover.
