With a masterly writer's love of language, Johnson elucidates Jesus's profound teachings. With a believer's passion, he reaches "behind the written text to the full meaning of sayings and episodes which need to be explained afresh to each generation." The result is a probing, lucid, deeply moving biography of a man whose life changed the course of history." --Cover, p. 2 UR - http://www.contentreserve.com/TitleInfo.asp?ID={45610923-C0BE-4C03-B6B0-90487B956951}&Format=50 UR - http://www.contentreserve.com/TitleInfo.asp?ID={45610923-C0BE-4C03-B6B0-90487B956951}&Format=410 UR - http://images.contentreserve.com/ImageType-100/1523-1/{45610923-C0BE-4C03-B6B0-90487B956951}Img100.jpg ER -
