The Jesus of History

This thoughtful work grew from a series of lectures delivered across India during the turbulent years of the First World War. The author has taken those spoken reflections, reshaped them on the road from Calcutta to Poona, and offered a readable guide that avoids dense footnotes while still inviting careful study. Its purpose is not to claim a definitive portrait of Jesus, but to open fresh pathways for anyone eager to explore the man behind the familiar stories.

Organised into concise chapters, the book moves from the little‑known details of Jesus’s early life, through his character and manner of speech, to the way he gathered and transformed his followers. It then examines his teachings on God, compassion, and sin, always grounding the discussion in the gospel texts as historical sources. Readers who love thoughtful inquiry will find a balanced blend of scholarly insight and genuine reverence, encouraging a deeper, more personal engagement with the figure at the centre of Western history.
