The Biographies of Jesus

0:00 / 0:00

I love reading biographies. I find learning about the experiences of other fascinating— the things they’ve been through; the adventures they’ve had; the lessons they’ve learnt; and the wisdom they’ve gained along the journey of life.

If you’re like me and love biographies, then there’s one you really need to read: the biography of Jesus.

Regardless of what you think of Him, there is little doubt amongst historians of all backgrounds that this Jewish man was a real person who lived 2,000 years ago. There’s also little doubt that He has been profoundly influential.

So wouldn’t it make sense to read a biography of someone so significant?

You might not agree with Him. You might not be persuaded by His life and message.

But if you love a good biography, then one of His should really be on your list—you might be surprised what you discover.
