Have you ever wondered about Nazareth as a place to live in the first century? How about Jesus the miracle worker: how did he do the great deeds reported of him in the New Testament? "A Man Called Jesus" answers these questions and more. It recreates Jesus as a Jew in contrast to the first Christian of the early church. It's a novel that makes one central assumption about the historical Jesus. He was a man all about love. In doing so it creates a Jesus that is relevant for all times and all places. Rick Herrick (PhD, Tulane University) is a former tenured university professor and magazine editor.
