Who Was Jesus?

by Ellen Morgan, Who HQ, Stephen Marchesi (Illustrator)

Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller

Who HQ turns to Jesus. This is not a religious book, but rather an historical examination of Jesus and his place in the Roman Empire, as well as his role in the founding of Christianity.

This fascinating addition to the best-selling Who Was...? series does not settle questions of theology. Instead, it presents young readers with a biography that covers what is known historically about Jesus and places in his life in the context of his world when Jerusalem was part of the Roman Empire. In an even-handed and easy-to-read narrative, this title—illustrated with eighty black-and-white drawings—also explains the early origins of Christianity and how it became a major religion.
