Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world. The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.

The Jesus of History is a religious study that has grown out of lectures upon the historical Jesus given in a good many cities of India during the winter 1915-16. Recast and developed, the lectures were taken down in shorthand in Calcutta; they were revised in Madras; and most of them were wholly re-written, where and when in six following months leisure was available, in places so far apart as Colombo, Maymyo, Rangoon, Kodaikanal, Simla, and Poona. The reader will not expect a heavy apparatus of references to books which were generally out of reach. Jesus (4 BC - AD 30 / 33), also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth and Jesus Christ, was a first-century Jewish preacher and religious leader. He is the central figure of Christianity. Most Christians believe him to be the incarnation of God the Son and the awaited Messiah (Christ) prophesied in the Old Testament. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed historically, although the quest for the historical Jesus has produced little agreement on the historical reliability of the Gospels and on how closely the Jesus portrayed in the Bible reflects the historical Jesus. Jesus was a Galilean Jew who was baptized by John the Baptist and subsequently began his own ministry, preaching his message orally and often being referred to as "rabbi". Jesus debated with fellow Jews on how to best follow God, engaged in healings, taught in parables and gathered followers. He was arrested and tried by the Jewish authorities, and turned over to the Roman government, and was subsequently crucified on the order of Pontius Pilate, the Roman prefect. After his death, his followers believed he rose from the dead, and the community they formed eventually became the Christian Church. His birth is celebrated annually on December 25 (or various dates in January for some eastern churches) as a holiday known as Christmas, his crucifixion is honored on Good Friday, and his resurrection is celebrated on Easter. The widely used calendar era "AD", from the Latin anno Domini ("in the year of the Lord"), and the alternative "CE", are based on the approximate birth date of Jesus. Christian doctrines include the beliefs that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, was born of a virgin named Mary, performed miracles, founded the Church, died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement, rose from the dead, and ascended into Heaven, from where he will return. Most Christians believe Jesus enables people to be reconciled to God. The Nicene Creed asserts that Jesus will judge the living and the dead either before or after their bodily resurrection, an event tied to the Second Coming of Jesus in Christian eschatology. The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three persons of a Divine Trinity. A minority of Christian denominations reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural. In Islam, Jesus (commonly transliterated as Isa) is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah. Muslims believe Jesus was a bringer of scripture and was born of a virgin but was not the Son of God. The Quran states that Jesus himself never claimed divinity. To most Muslims, Jesus was not crucified but was physically raised into Heaven by God.

Who is Jesus? The Christ, God made flesh, the door to eternal salvation to more than two billion Christians worldwide, he is the Messiah, Jesus. To the world's billion-and-half Muslims he could be an prophet that is honored. The Buddha among the half-billion Buddhists, he is a wise, enlightened man whose teachings are similar to those of Siddhartha. To Jews, the group into which he was born, his name was for centuries something to worry, connected with the murder and oppression of the people performed by fanatics who claimed to be acting in their name; with improved Judeo - Christian relations in the second half of the 20th century, Jesus is now being re-considered in many Jewish circles. In the expressed words of Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, he was "a rabbi whom rocked the boat." Savior. Prophet. Teacher. Social rebel. Nevertheless he is viewed, there clearly was one truth that is undeniable This Jewish carpenter from Nazareth became the absolute most influential solitary individual in history. As his supporters spread your message of their ministry to every corner worldwide, the ripple effects created waves in religion, politics, law, art, literature, architecture it is hard to think of an area of human endeavor that hasn't one way or another been touched by that solitary life. Yet the history of that life, the world in which he lived, and the ways in which the story of their life was interwoven to the fabric of societies over centuries are often perhaps not well recognized, even by people who profess to worship him. Who's the Jesus of history? That could be the concern at the heart of a special publication from World History Group: Jesus of History. As its introduction states, "He had an pedigree that is unlikely A carpenter's son from a little village in a small Roman province on the fringe associated with the kingdom. In his lifetime, he never ever did anything particularly crucial, certainly nothing that could attract the headlines back in Rome or rattle the quills of historians." Yet this Jesus of Nazareth, later called the Christ, became the centerpiece of Western history, his teaching and law that is moral defining civilized culture, looking for justice tempered by mercy and love respected as generosity of spirit." In examining the life of Jesus, the spread associated with faith that became understood as Christianity, and also the impact of the faith on culture, the arts and other realms, Jesus of History examines the story told in the Gospels. It looks into that which was learned from the Dead Sea Scrolls. Rabbis and other scholars discuss the entire world in which Jesus was born and early years regarding the new faith. A timeline shows the consequences of Christianity on ancient Rome, and a chapter titled "Failing Jesus" examines how Christians went from being the oppressed to too often being the oppressors whenever politics and greed were allowed to corrupt his message. A gallery of paintings and sculptures raise the concern, "What did Jesus look like?" The publication also explores "7 methods Jesus influenced America." Whatever your views on Jesus as a figure that is religious be, we'd like to ask: What do you regard as the most important impact Jesus and the faith that grew up around him had on the length of history and/or the arts?
