Summary

"Experience the life and teachings of Jesus from a new and fresh perspective. The story of Jesus the Messiah comes to life in the epic new book by Roma Downey and Mark Burnett. Though based on the New Testament accounts, Son of God reads like a contemporary novel. The character of Jesus and the personalities and motives of all those who surround him come vivdly to life. The portrayal of the impact the teachings of Jesus had on his followers enhance his message for today. The description of the customs and culture of the Jewish people, the Roman officals and soldiers who oppress them, furthers the understanding of the biblical record. Grittily realistic, Son of God pulls no punches in conveying the harsh realities of Jesus' era. But it is also inspirational, showing how Jesus transformed the lives of the humble and the powerful alike with his message of repentance, redemption, and love. From the annunciation by the angel through his birth, death, and resurrection Son of God chronicles the story of Jesus in a way it has never been "told"."--Container
