Edward Michael Bankes Green, known as Michael Green, was a British theologian, Anglican priest, Christian apologist and author of more than fifty Christian books. He served as the Canon Missioner of Holy Trinity Church in Raleigh, North Carolina through 2007.
If you want a good book to use to get a picture of who Jesus is and to also get some background on the origins of the church. The last couple of chapters are amazing at laying out the reasons for trusting in both the secular and non-secular sources of evidence for the truth about Jesus. I hope to read this one again and again.
