With a forensic, brilliant re-examination of all the key surviving texts of early Christianity, Geza Vermes illuminates the origins of a faith and traces the evolution of the figure of Jesus from the man he was - a prophet fully recognisable as the successor to other Jewish holy men of the Old Testament - to what he came to represent: a mysterious, otherworldly being at the heart of a major new religion.00aJesus Christ. 0aChurch historyyPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600. 0aChristianity.  2ddc  c36671d36671  00102ddc40708270 Church historyaMAINbMAINcOSd2013-07-19eThe Book Depositoryg15.26l0o270.1/VERp14217r2015-09-09 00:00:00t1v50.00w2013-07-19yAM
