Publisher's Synopsis
Though he is known today, after two millennia, as Jesus Christ, while he lived he would have been called Yehoshua ben Yosef (Joshua, son of Joseph). This book-Joshua: The Light of the World-assembles, as a composite chronological story, the four New Testament Gospels about Jesus. The four Gospels enable us to both listen to him and observe the life he lived. When we listen to him in those stories, we hear him refer to himself as The Light of the World; The Bread of Life; The Way, The Truth, and The Life; but never as The Lamb of God-a central doctrine of Christianity. This book seeks the original gospel of Jesus, before the rise of Christianity.
