This fundamental study was written by the most famous biblical scholars of the twentieth century. The authors consider their historical, which has become a classic, presentation of the life and work of Jesus against the background of modern Judaism as an "attempt to approach," which, however, allows us to clearly see the contours of the unique figure of Christ. The authors of the book scrupulously analyze the Galilean origin of Jesus, his attitude towards John the Baptist and the historical context of his ministry and preaching the Kingdom of God. The central place in the book is occupied by the phenomenon and the related problems of the Son of Man, the miracle worker and the Messiah. The volume concludes with a description of the conflict between Jesus and the religious leaders of the Jewish people, the way of the cross and the appearance of the Risen.
