In this new volume in the popular For Today series, Ron Allen provides an exciting introduction to the life of Jesus and an engaging discussion of what Jesus life means for modern-day believers. Setting Jesus in his ancient context, Allen examines many stories about Jesus life, including those that present Jesus as a teacher, a miracle worker, the crucified Messiah, the resurrected Lord, and the Son of God. Throughout, Allen shows how these different stories relate to one another to express the core of Jesus message a message that, as Allen helpfully shows, is of central importance for believers today.
