Jesus

Here is a magnum opus of image and emotion: Jesus bringing his father the sacrificial lamb in Jerusalem's temple ...Mary desperately searching for her son in the wind-lashed rain ...the cry of gratitude from a leper's lips ...the loving intimacy of Jesus in prayer ...the fury of religious leaders ...the agony of an iron crucifixion spike piercing human sinew ...Loving son, intimate friend, and brilliant teacher, tender in heart, fierce in anger, wholehearted in joy and in grief, deeply human yet unmistakably divine--this is the Jesus who lives and breathes in these pages. The Jesus of the Bible, revealing God's heart in the midst of time and culture.
