The Life of Jesus: Did Jesus Exist and Perform Miracles? Two thousand years ago, a man called Jesus Christ wandered the Judean countryside performing miracles and teaching a new and radical approach to life and the life hereafter. But since the moment of his birth, his life has been cloaked in controversy. Did he really exist? Did his non-violent teachings challenge the authority of both the Romans and the Jews? Where did his authority and power come from? Was he born to a virgin? When and where did this miraculous birth take place? Was it attended by great Kings and lowly shepherds? Does historical evidence testify to the miracles performed by this man? And finally, what does history, archaeology and the testimonies of believers and non-believers alike tell us about the impact this one brief life has had on the world? Imagine – the joy and wonder of those who were the first to meet the man called Jesus Christ.
