Jésus

What if, historically, Jesus was taken seriously? What do we know about him? Who was he really: a prophet, a Jewish reformer, the Messiah expected by Israel? Was he thinking of being the Son of God? Why was he executed and at whose instigation - Romans or Jewish authorities of Jerusalem? With the same concern for the documented and fluid narrative that made the success of his previous biographies, John Christian Petitfils reconstructs as accurately as possible the life and character of the "Jesus of History", placing him in the religious, cultural and political environment of Palestine of his time. Using the latest archaeological discoveries and the achievements of biblical exegesis, John Christian Petitfils, as rational historian - but not rationalist - carries out an inquiry that best combines scientific knowledge and openness to the mystery of the Christian faith.
