  2. From the Table of Contents you posted, it looks like the book is a comprehensive biography of Jesus. It may be the only such work since Albert Schweitzer wrote The Quest of the Historical Jesus in 1893. Usually, we get only smatterings of this and that -- and too often colored by the bias of the author -- and so infrequently do we get a look at a complete picture of His life. While I don't hold with organized religion -- too much of man in it -- I do look for sources of a basis for ethics in my own personal spiritual journey. I'll look for this on my library trip planned for tomorrow.
