Jesus was the founder of Christianity. He was a Jewish teacher who was born in the part of the world that we now call Israel, and lived for about 33 years. During that time he travelled around a small area teaching, preaching and healing people. He came into conflict with the Jewish authorities because of the things that he said and did, and because some people believed that he was the Messiah. But who was Jesus? What did he do? What did he say? Why were the Jewish authorities against him? What were the important events in his life? In this title we will be looking at the life of Jesus as it is told in the first four books of the New Testament, called the Gospels.
