Publisher's Summary

Separating fact from fiction, Professor Le Donne places Jesus within the context of first-century Judaism, and explores the debate about his status as 'Son of God' among the early Christians.

He then follows his legacy through medieval Europe, and compares the various cultural Jesuses in enlightenment and post-enlightenment thought.

Critic Reviews

'Fresh, punchy and perfectly crafted for those with little or no background in this field of study, Le Donne explains Jesus not only in terms of long ago, but through the centuries to today.' (Joan Taylor, professor of Christian Origins and Second Temple Judaism, King's College, London)
'Covers a vast historical range, from first-century Palestine to the latest Jesus-memes in popular culture, drawing on an enviable breadth of knowledge.' (John M.G. Barclay, Lightfoot Professor of Divinity, Durham University)
