But few attempt to tell us what he was actually like. The Gospels rarely mention his motives or deal with his state of mind. But they do allow us to reconstruct much of the message, activity, claims and impact of Jesus in the final years of his life, as well as glimpsing every now and then his feelings and intentions. This new book by the distinguished Catholic biblical scholar and systematic theologian Gerald O'Collins concentrates on bringing the personality of Jesus alive. It combines devotion and experience with a lifetime of scholarly investigation.

If a church is interested in growing, this situation becomes a major challenge. This book looks at the church as it seeks to function in a new world. It looks at the differences in the generations and at postmodernism, not just a generational difference but a global change.
