Jesus: His Words and Deeds eases its way into an intensive and energetic exploration of the central figure of the Christian faith by posing a thought experiment. What if ? author Alexander Anteyi asks. What if none of the specific, concrete, irreducibly historical events of the life of Jesus had occurred? What if, instead, he came to share the generalities and vague inspirations so often spoken in his name today?

To help readers make their way through those suppositions, Jesus provides a refresher to reacquaint readers with the person who is both Son of God and Son of Man. The seven sections in Jesus lay the foundation, root the history, review the creation, characterize biblically grounded doctrine, identify Jesus, and explore his ministry. In the end, the reader faces the big question—Who is Jesus Christ to you?

By investing yourself in the joyful work of coming to know Jesus Christ through his words and deeds, you can emerge from your time immersed in the pages of Jesus: His Words and Deeds in a position to answer that big question with courage and conviction and with clear-eyed awareness of the identity and message of history’s central figure.
