In this new volume in the famous For Today series, Ron Allen presents an exciting introduction to Jesus 'life and an appealing discussion of what Jesus' life means to contemporary believers. In putting Jesus in his old context, Allen examines many stories about Jesus 'life and shows how these different stories relate to each other to express the essence of Jesus' message - a message, as Allen shows purposefully, of central importance to the faithful.

Today, the For For series is designed to provide reliable and accessible resources for the application of study and the application of real life to important scriptural texts, theological documents, and Christian practices. The focus of the series is not only to recognize and appreciate what the subject has meant in the past, but also for its value at present - "for today." Exciting questions are included at the end of each chapter, making books ideal for personal study and group use..
