Who was, who is, Jesus of Nazareth? Born in obscurity, raised a carpenter, executed as a criminal, 2000 years later Jesus stands as the most captivating and influential figure in history and is worshipped by members of the most diverse community on earth. But who is he really, and why does it matter to us today? In this Trinity Forum reading, Senior Fellow Alonzo McDonald (author of the Trinity Forum Reading Reflections on the Millennium) gives a layman's perspective of Jesus based on his own serious investigations. Chairman and CEO of Avenir Group, a former U.S. Ambassador and White House staff director, and a more recent follower of Jesus, McDonald answers questions posed to him over the years by friends and associates regarding his faith. Given the reach and endurance of his influence, Jesus is a figure to be grappled with by thoughtful people. McDonald provides a launching pad for further investigation into the man who has left an indelible mark on the world. |
