A team of leading public intellectuals addresses the questions of who Jesus was, how he changed the world, and what he stands for 20 centuries later. Two thousand and twenty years after the birth of Christ, we remain the children of the Christian revolution: the most disruptive, the most influential and the most enduring revolution in history.' Tom Holland It is often observed that no historical figure has had a greater impact on the world than Jesus Christ. Why is that? And what difference does his impact make to the world today?
It is also often said that Jesus was a 'revolutionary', and numerous books have appeared in recent years claiming just that – from the wild and sensational to the serious and respectable.
