If you live in the western world the date written on the currency in your pocket and on today's newspaper has been fixed with reference to his birth. Jesus never wrote a book or song yet more books and songs have been written about him than about any other person who has ever lived. The opinions about Jesus are countless. People often agree that he was a good man and did great works, but many refuse to accept his, and the Bible's, claims that he was divine, or that he came into this world to save people from their sins.
