John Dominic Crossan, widely regarded as the leading authority on the words and life of Jesus, has created a landmark work that presents the best possible historical depiction of the man and his message. In elegant prose marked by startling revelations, Crossan presents Jesus as a social revolutionary who preached and practiced a message of radical egalitarianism.

This Jesus is a savvy and courageous Jewish Mediterranean peasant who challenged the current social rules regarding class, gender, and status. What emerges from this stunning biography is a vision of Jesus as a Socratic philosopher and political agitator; a man who gave voice to those who had never been heard and love to the most cast-out members of society.

John Dominic Crossan is generally regarded as the leading historical Jesus scholar in the world. He is the author of several bestselling books including The Historical Jesus, Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography, The Birth of Christianity, and Who Killed Jesus? He lives in Clermont, FL.

"Crossan paints his Jesus with great warmth and power. He achieves a portrait that both takes in the contemporary background yet accounts for Jesus's distinctiveness. . . . This Jesus is a Jewish peasant, with a direct sense of God's immediacy, who shatters all social restraints." -New York Times Book Review
