The book offered to the attention of readers is unusual. It is dedicated not just to one of the great heroes of antiquity, but to the Man Who has been revered as God incarnate for two thousand years. There is no one in the history of mankind who has had such a deep, comprehensive and fertilizing influence on the development of human culture, for it was Jesus Christ who set the vector of cultural development of several continents for many centuries.

But, recognizing Jesus as God, is it possible to publish a book about Him in a secular series dedicated to “the lives of remarkable people”? Yes, the author of the book explains to us, for the Church has always stated firmly and unequivocally: He is a full-fledged God, but at the same time he is also a full-fledged man, in everything – except for sin – like us.

The earthly history of Jesus Christ is traced by the author on the basis of all sources at our disposal; A comparative analysis of all four Gospels was carried out, the reasons for the differences contained in them, and the degree of their reliability were identified. At the same time, the book is written in a lively, accessible language and is addressed to the widest range of readers.
