It shows how Jesus, a Galilean Jew, born when the ancient Roman Empire ruled the Mediterranean world, has come to be honored as the Christ and recognized around the globe by billions at the outset of the twenty-first century. Two questions about Jesus which recur throughout the book are: \u003ci\u003eWho was he?\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWhat did he do?\u003c\/i\u003e But this engaging study also shows the importance of asking \u003ci\u003eWhose was he?\u003c\/i\u003e in fully understanding Jesus’ life and legacy.  \u003cp\u003eIn tracing the reception history of Jesus and his story over two thousand years, W.

Tatum has taken on the daunting task of sailing the Christological currents from the backwaters of first century Nazareth to the cultural tsunamis of twenty-first century globalization.
