A Spanish best-seller now available in English for the first time. José Pagola presents a lively and passionate narrative of Jesus of Nazareth within the milieu of the first century, locating him in his social, economic, political and religious contexts based on current and accepted research. Addressed are the basic questions about who Jesus was; how he understood his life; what was the originality of his message; how the vision of the Kingdom of God centered his life; and why he was executed and who intervened in the process. One of Pagolas most controversial perspectives is that Jesus never described his death in theological terms and did not understand it as sacrificial atonement of the sins of humanity. A distinguished professor at St. Sebastian Seminary and at the Faculty of Theology of Northern Spain, Pagola has dedicated his life to Biblical studies and Christology and has researched the historical Jesus for more than 30 years.
