• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Jesus Christ is the most famous person in human history. His favorite name for himself was "the Son of Man" or the "the Human One." Rarely did his followers call him that, but it must have had great significance for him. This book describes why this name was so important and what it means for us now. Along with this favorite name, this book shows how Jesus Christ fulfills human longing, but at the same time is resisted by his own followers to this day. Nevertheless, his call to follow him has sounded down the centuries and been heeded by millions. The book leads to an exploration of the Way that is found in Jesus Christ, who called himself "the Human One."
