What Did Jesus Do?

by Michael L. Lindvall

Although one-third of people today consider themselves Christians, and millions of words have been written about the meaning of Jesus, many of Christ’s followers don't know the basic facts of His the parables He taught, the miracles He performed, and the remarkable circumstances surrounding both his birth and His death. Using the four Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as his primary source material, minister and author Michael Lindvall not only lays out the rough chronology of Jesus’ life, but he places it within a rich historical context and reveals the major influences that directly affected the early tellings of Christ’s story. This is an invaluable reference for anyone—of any religious persuasion—who wants to understand this most important and influential figure.

[John · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book has several irritating typographical errors. A careful proofreading before publication would have been helpful. Still, it is a concise and readable introduction to Jesus' life, kind of like the book a preacher would write if he or she could condense all the notes from "New Testament 101." It would serve well as the foundation text for a Lenten study series or adult class.
