What prepared Jesus for his mission (if you do not believe he was God)? Was he a confident young man who knew early in life what his mission was? Or was he an itinerant searcher who was looking for something, though he was not sure what? The gospels tell us next to nothing about his development.
Read an imaginative reconstruction of his early years — and his activities before his death — in Reluctant Messiah.
