The Jesus of Faith and the Jesus of History are two different beings, with two different stories. In this brilliant and bestselling biography, A. N. Wilson reappraises our readings of the Gospels and, with extraordinary insight and clarity, reinterprets the story of Jesus's birth, his life as a carpenter and the dramatic events surrounding his arrest and trial.
Written with profound scepticism, A. N. Wilson's book triumphantly rescues Jesus from the tangles of Christian history, presenting us with a compelling portrait of the man behind the myth.

A.N. Wilson writes like an angel
- New Statesman and Society
Those exceptional talents displayed in his biographies are combined with those equally splendid gifts of imaginative writing which characterise his novels
- Literary Review
Many aspects of Wilson's book will anger or amuse believing Christians and serious New Testament scholars... Anybody who knows the Gospels at all should find their understanding much challenged and enriched by this book
- Guardian
He writes beautifully... I found myself carried along on page after page
- Mail on Sunday
