| Publisher Description: "Whom do men say that I, the son of man am ?" To many, this question posed thousands of years ago by the greatest man of all times is quite perplexing. To many, he is both Savior and Redeemer. To some, he is a very close and personal friend. From the earliest of times, he was considered the Son of God, a prophet and a healer. Unfortunately, Jesus has no impact on some and is thoroughly rejected. This work takes a look at Jesus, his family, and the Roman Empire at its Zenith; and we get a glimpse at some of her Emperors. We also travel lands where, at the time, were subjugated by the Romans, and learn of their interesting customs and deities. In addition, we see how Jesus' acts and words of wisdom influence people of all classes, from the poverty-stricken blind, Roman soldiers, Pharisees, and even to the wife of a Roman Emperor. There are many things that can be said and written about this most magnificent man, Jesus the Nazarene, but we should never forget his greatest act of love: surrendering his life so that we may have life, and have it in abundance. He himself once said: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man may lay down his life for his friends."
