Explaining Jesus

How exactly does one explain Jesus? That is the central question of this book. But the taskof explaining Jesus is complicated. For many nonbelievers, skeptics, or practitioners of non-Jesus-based religions or spiritualities, it can be very strange to refer to a particular man wholived in the first century CE as someone who is still living. Even for some believers, this ideacan be a difficult thing to understand—even given the teachings of their faith. Thus, whetherbeliever or nonbeliever or somewhere in-between, for the intellectually curious, there is needfor an explanation. Explaining Jesus explores the possibilities of a secular, interdisciplinary, science-based explanation for the phenomenon of Jesus.
