Official synopsis Publisher
Almost two millennia ago, a group of Jewish leaders plotted the execution of a young man, Jesus of Nazareth. The death of this young Jew has had implications for the whole of humankind ever since. The Miracles of the Messiah seeks to re-examines the events of those days and places them in the culture of the period. It will seek to answer the following questions: -Did Jesus of Nazareth claim to be anything more than a travelling teacher? If so, what were His claims? -Did He provide any evidence to suggest that He had a special ministry? If so, what was that evidence? -How did the nation’s leaders investigate His claims and come to their decision? -How did Jesus respond to the decision of the nation’s leaders to execute Him. A right understanding of the answers to these questions is necessary to appreciate how one decision, made by a relatively small number of men, in a small, Middle Eastern country, could have affected countless generations of people ever since.
