Publisher's Synopsis
Was Jesus the Messiah of Israel? How did he see himself? How did his contemporaries see him? How do we judge the many claims that have been made on his behalf? Maxim W. Mikulak, Ph.D. synthesizes a vast array of material to arrive at a compelling portrait of the historical Jesus living in a time of great upheaval, struggling to interpret Jewish prophesy and to define his spiritual calling in relation to it. Dr. Mikulak follows where the evidence leads as he examines the contradictory Scriptural passages surrounding such pivotal events as Jesus' baptism by John, his trial and crucifixion, as well as his resurrection. Jesus: The Controversial Messiah is a thought-provoking tour de force.
