An exciting new look at Jesus the man. I like Barton’s radical take.
Barton was one of the giants of the fledgling advertising industry when he wrote this portrait of Jesus to counteract what he experienced as a sentimentalized distortion of the presentation in the four Gospels.

The result can be imagined by the chapter titles: The Executive; The Outdoor Man; The Sociable Man; His Method; His Advertisements; The Founder of Modern Business; and The Master.
