"Jesus Through the Centuries" is a non-fiction book by Jaroslav Pelikan, a prominent theologian and historian. The book traces the changing images and understandings of Jesus Christ throughout the history of Christianity, from his life and teachings in ancient Palestine to his significance in the modern world. Pelikan examines the ways in which Jesus has been depicted in art, literature, and theology, as well as the various theological controversies and debates that have shaped Christian thought and practice over the centuries. He also explores the cultural and historical contexts in which these depictions of Jesus emerged, and the ways in which they reflect the social, political, and religious concerns of different times and places. The book offers a comprehensive and insightful overview of the many ways in which Jesus has been interpreted and understood over the centuries, and the enduring significance of his life and teachings for Christians and non-Christians alike.
