Jesus of Nazareth Volumes 1 and 2

His Life, His Message, His Promise.

by William G. Johnsson

The skillful penmanship of Bill Johnsson, former editor of the Adventist Review, has produced a perceptive and penetrating portrait of Jesus of Nazareth--His Life, Message, and Passion. Jesus of Nazareth is informative and factual, but above all it is a spiritual journey with Jesus the Man.

"Of all the names given children since the dawn of time, one stands alone, solitary, immoveable. Although many men and women now take that name in oath or jest, one day every knee in heaven and earth will bow before Him who bears it and declare that He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. That name is the sweetest sound to come from infant lips; it sustains us through life; it will be our refuge when we embark on our final journey.

"Jesus. All our hopes, for this world and the next, center in Him. Our best joys, our highest aspirations, our cleanest motivations, spring from Him. Every other name will pass away; His, never. He is incomparable."

Reviews and Endorsements

[ Bookshelf Review ]
At the conclusion of his gospel, John commented that there will always be more books to be written about Jesus (see John 21:25). Across his decades of writing and editing, William Johnsson is a writer who has taken this seriously, regularly returning to the story of Jesus and His centrality to our lives, our faith and our church. His newest instalment in this life-long project is the two-volume Jesus of Nazareth and it’s a worthy addition to the library of retellings of the stories of Jesus that John anticipated.
This writing project was commissioned and published by the church’s Biblical Research Institute (at the General Conference), in part, to serve as a textbook for introductory Bible and Christian studies classes in the church’s colleges around the world. But Dr Johnsson’s passion for his topic, and the warmth and personality of his writing, move this study beyond its textbook style and presentation. Instead, it is a devotional study, informed by scholarship and personal experience, and also an attractive portrait of a Man who changed the world and still changes individual lives.
The sequence of Jesus of Nazareth’s two volumes begins with the context in which Jesus came and the history of His life, before exploring His teachings and culminating in His death and resurrection. To this extent, the treatment is methodical but that is the structure, not the heart of this work. The heart is one in love with and in awe of Jesus, that has been transformed by His continuing presence and whose life has been lived in service to Him. This relationship between the author and his Subject is the real impulse for this book and makes Jesus of Nazareth well worth listening in on. I think John would appreciate it, too.
