Our understanding of Jesus is basic to everything else about our faith as Christians. From earliest times, scholars have asked questions about this Jesus, like Could he really have been God? If so, could he really have been human? How much did he know? Did he know who he was? What is being 'born of a virgin' all about? How literally are we to take what the gospels say about Jesus? These are still significant questions for all Christians, many of whom have been distracted by a traditional emphasis on his divinity. In this book, Enda Lyons sets out to guide today's Christians along the intriguing and enriching path of discovery of the reality of Jesus of Nazareth. Fr Lyons succeeds like no other in presenting profound theological truths in language and symbol which are immediately accessible and understandable to everyone.
