Jesus of Nazareth

William G. Johnsson draws from his many years of firsthand experience teaching about Jesus in a university setting to provide educators with this invaluable teaching resource. In it he seeks to impart eternal lessons from the gospel account of Jesus’ earthly ministry. This textbook contains a wealth of historical information from both scripture and nonbiblical ancient literature that will help students fully appreciate the impact of Jesus in human history.

The book is the first in a series of specialized textbooks in Adventist biblical studies and theology developed by the Biblical Research Institute and published by Andrews University Press for use in undergraduate and graduate programs in Adventist colleges and universities.
