The scholarly book Jesus the Messiah: A survey of the life of Christ brings a fresh and renewing glimpse into Jesus’ life. For years’ books about the life of Christ were written in a historical-critical method. The author Robert H. Stein has succeeded in breaking the “norm” when it comes to writing a book about Jesus’ life. He accomplishes this by intertwining the historical Jesus, His faith and the supernatural presence in his life. The historical-critical approach tends to focus on natural explanation of things that happen. Stein explains that the miracles in the life of Christ should be included when studying His life, otherwise it will produce a completely different man than we know. Stein divides the book into two sections.
