Jesus of Nazareth, the Nazarene, Jesus Christ, the Christ, the
Good Shepherd, the Redeemer or the Deliverer? To this day, the
identity of Jesus remains an unfathomable mystery for
non-believers and a glorious open book of hope for the devout.
Who really was this figure and why are his life and sermons so
pivotal to the core of Christianity, the religion founded in his
name and in honour of his sacrifice to humankind? The Essence of
Jesus tackles such fascinating subject matter in ground-breaking
form, turning to sources as diverse as the Bible, iconic art,
Church reformers, religious ritual, as well as other religions,
leaders and holy texts, in order to offer a well-rounded
discussion about the power of Jesus'?word and his legacy. Also
