'Incredible as it may appear, 2000 years ago, Jesus - the subject of this book - changed the course of history and that impact is not diminshed but is ever-increasing in our 21st Century. Jesus, whose life, deeds, death and resurrection are narrated in the first four books of our New Testament - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. For over 25 years I have overseen the publishing of more than 100 million Bible Gospels in modern and traditional translations, as well as in various languages. During this time I have always felt the need to place in the hands of Christians and the wider public a fresh retelling of the Gospels, so that everyone would have the oppportunity of discovering the Jesus of the Gospels from the 1st Century, as though the story was being told for the first time today. Most people still find the Gospels of the New Testament, even in modern translation, a strange language - but now, hopefully, that obstacle has been removed.' Robert Hicks Publisher.
