Synopsis

The Life of Jesus Like You've Never Imagined

Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say I am?" It's a question that still needs an answer today. With deft, insightful, and humorous strokes, award-winning biographer Jared Brock weaves archaeology, philosophy, history, and theology to create a portrait of Jesus we've never seen before.

This is a groundbreaking biography about the historical Jesus we don't usually think about: The child refugee. The "carpenter" who most likely worked with stone. The adult who walked at least 21,525 miles in His lifetime and yet never tasted tomatoes or potatoes. The itinerant rabbi whose real name wasn't Jesus. The political revolutionary whose brutal murder was secretly masterminded by a power-hungry mafia family.

More than a fascinating biography, A God Named Josh seeks to illuminate Jesus of Nazareth from new perspectives, grounded in history, that will surprise Christians and atheists alike.

Goodreads review by Joan

This book is undoubtedly the most fascinating one I have ever read on the person and work of Jesus. Brock's writing style is wonderful and the book is very readable, even with a bit of humor here and there.

Goodreads review by Mike

A history of Jesus as told almost strictly using the bible and other faith-based sources, and through the eyes of an evangelical Christian with no pretenses of being a secular historian. (Not being a Christian myself, I cannot vouch for the accuracy.) The author has an excellent voice, presentation......more
