What can we know about Jesus of Nazareth? The book by the renowned Berlin New Testament scholar Jens Schröter embarks on a quest to uncover the traces of the itinerant preacher from Galilee, who was deeply rooted in the Jewish traditions of his time and has become the central figure of today's largest world religion. It takes into account new archaeological research on the places of his ministry as well as current insights from Jesus studies. Schröter presents Jesus in the context of his time, creating a vivid picture of his activities in Galilee and his crucifixion in Jerusalem. However, the book does not end with Jesus' death; it also explains the beginnings of faith in Jesus as the Christ and the savior of the world, as well as early interpretations of his person in canonical and non-canonical writings.
