By his birth the world dates its calendars, and by his name millions curse and millions pray. Two thousand years on, Jesus remains the most prominent and influential person in history. All this from a man without earthly title and riches, the son of a carpenter, whose public ministry spanned less than four years.

The striking contrast between Jesus' humble life and impact on the world (which transcends generations, cultures and creeds), is nothing short of miraculous.  Who is Jesus and why does it matter? The answer warrants more than a passing thought and openness to explore.
