- Summary:
- Ernest Renan's 'Life of Jesus' aroused enormous controversy when it was first published due to its claim to be a historically accurate biography of Jesus. This book demonstrates how Renan's work intervened in a remarkable range of debates in 19th-century French cultural life and reconstructs the ways that ordinary French men and women engaged with one of the great religious debates of their age.
