The Prophet King: A New Look at the Historical Jesus

by Richard W. Lamb

The first generation of Jesus' followers was convinced that, after his crucifixion, he had risen from the dead and ascended to heaven. They believed Jesus would soon return to establish God's kingdom on earth and judge the human race. They saw his death as an atoning sacrifice that mader salvation possible.

Did Jesus teach these things, or were these ideas developed later by his followers?

Using the biblical accounts of Jesus'life, The Prophet King explores these questions and comes to some fascinating conclusions. This book is an essential resource for anyone with a serious interest in the teachings of the historical Jesus.
