Inhaltsangabe

The greatest story ever told was honed like any good performance, on the road in front of audiences. Acclaimed scholar L.

A fresh account of the gospels that have shaped centuries of Christian belief, Scripting Jesus offers important insight into how we can understand Jesus’s story today.
