What is Jesus Through the Centuries : His Place in the History of Culture about?

xvi, 270 pages, 12 unnumbered pages of plates : 24 cm Pelikan discusses how each age created Jesus in its own image, discovering in his life and teachings the answers to fundamental questions of human existence and destiny.
