It is to encounter a unique and tremendous mystery: the mystery of the Incarnation, in the words of Henri Daniel-Rops: of “the enigma posed by this man, like one of ourselves, whose words and gestures bring into constant evidence unfathomable forces, by this countenance deformed by agony through which we glimpse the very face of God.” \u003ci\u003eJesus and His Times \u003c\/i\u003emakes tangible the momentous first years \u003ci\u003eanno Domini\u003c\/i\u003e, capturing the climate and culture of Palestine, presenting the characters of Jesus’s disciples and contemporaries, and imbuing the entire narrative with an assured conviction in the power and glory of Jesus Christ and the Church which He established the salvation of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eUniversally praised upon its original publication in 1954, \u003ci\u003eJesus and His Times \u003c\/i\u003etells the story of the central figure of all humanity, Jesus of Nazareth, from his humble birth in a Bethlehem stable to his glorious resurrection which brought victory over death and eternal life to all who believe in him. To serve as biographer to the only-begotten Son of God is truly an audacious task, requiring a rare combination of fortitude, humility, and talent.
