John Stott delves into the person of Jesus and analyzes his influence throughout history, by studying His life through the testimony that the New Testament itself offers of Him, in light of what the Church says and has said, and also analyzes the influence He has had on history, finally explaining how His person affects us today.
The author reminds us that Jesus Christ is not only a historical figure, but also eternal and, therefore, our contemporary. Jesus challenges each new generation, century, and millennium in His roles as Savior, Lord, and Judge.
"Whatever may be believed or thought about Him, Jesus of Nazareth has been the dominant figure in Western history and culture for twenty centuries." Jaroslav Pelikan (Professor of History at Yale University. USA)
