Jesus, "a real man, not a myth", is depicted as the crowds saw him, and as did the Pharisees, the self-complacent of the times, the outcasts, the women and children, the first disciples, the militant nationalists and the Jews with a world-wide outlook. Here again Dr. Fosdick displays his uncanny ability to take the results of scholarly research and make them meaningful to the ordinary reader.. #01043.
