Jesus the Messiah

Jesus the Messiah by Guthrie, Donald. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780310254317.

Jesus the Messiah is a basic, non-technical introduction to the life of Christ, carefully tracing His life and works as evidence of the truth of His claims and of the firm convictions of the early Christians--an inspirational study of Christs life. The author prefaces his work by admitting that Many deny the possibility of writing a life of Jesus, and it must at once be conceded that no life in the biographical sense can be written. It is impossible to produce a psychological study of Jesus. His developing awareness of messianic mission cannot be traced. This book presents an account of Jesus from the perspective of faith. It sees in His deeds and words evidence of truth of His claims and of the firm convictions of the early Christians . . . . No one who reflects on His life and mission can fail to be affected by it, and in this sense the present study is in the nature of a personal testimony.
