And it is Jesus that modern readers of the Bible want to know. The example of his life and his ideals are more important than ever when other lights are failing. Men have always described Jesus in different ways. One… day on the road with his disciples, Jesus asked them who people said he was. There were different answers that day. the letters, biographical narratives, all the books of the New Testament, are answers to his question, answers written by different men, at different times, under different circumstances, but all give a portrait of Jesus and his solution for their problems."
