The Life of Jesus of Nazareth: A Study

"The Life of Jesus of Nazareth: A Study" by Rush Rhees is an analysis of Jesus's life as depicted in the Gospels, focusing on his human qualities and his mission within the historical setting of his time. Rhees uses an approachable non-argumentative style to make it accessible and shows the world surrounding Jesus using elements such as the history of Judea, Jewish sects, and political situations. The study then transitions to the concept of Jesus's followers first seeing him as a man, before realizing he was more than that. The study gives an evaluation of Jesus's life, teachings, and effect on people.
