The history of mankind is chiefly the record of the character and exploits of the men and women who exerted the greatest influence upon their generation and nation while the Scriptures were written to reveal to the human family a Person—its author and chief subject, Jesus Christ. The book examines the last three days of Jesus' life on earth and the challenges and injustice of his trial. "Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thornes, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, 'Behold the Man!'" (John 19:5).
