Rhees offers a study rather than a story: he begins with the historical situation of Palestine, the sources of our knowledge of Jesus, the harmony of the gospels and the chronology, then follows the early years, the Galilean ministry, the journeys beyond the Jordan and the final week, answering the questions a thoughtful reader of the gospels is likely to ask.
