Jesus in the context of his time

This biography approaches Jesus through historical context rather than theological conclusions. It places accounts of his life in Jerusalem under Roman rule, then extends the frame to the early origins of Christianity and its development into a major religion. Eighty black-and-white illustrations accompany the narrative, giving the book a visual element alongside its historical overview.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers ages 9–12 interested in biographies and religious history.
  • Children seeking an introductory account of Jesus and early Christianity.
  • Readers who prefer illustrated nonfiction about the ancient world.

Book overview

This fascinating addition to the best-selling Who Was...? series does not settle questions of theology. Instead, it presents young readers with a biography that covers what is known historically about Jesus and places in his life in the context of his world when Jerusalem was part of the Roman Empire. In an even-handed and easy-to-read narrative, this title--illustrated with eighty black-and-white drawings--also explains the early origins of Christianity and how it became a major religion.
