Genuine Jesus

In this richly illustrated volume formerly titled In the Fullness of Time, Paul L. Maier visits the origins of Christianity, taking the reader back to the first Christmas, the first Easter, and the first Christians. His impressive research and brilliant observations draw together history, archeology, and the New Testament to bring to life the true drama of earliest Christianity. This skillful narrative sheds new light on the life of Jesus and the courageous men and women who carried His message throughout a hostile empire. A host of magnificent full-color and black-and-white photographs recapture the world, the mood, the people, and the events with an immediacy that sweeps readers into the exciting first years of Christianity. -- Back cover.
