Noted gospel scholar and philosopher Truman G. Madsen has said "that what Jesus really was and did, He commands us to imitate; and that the promises of all the prophets which are fulfilled in him are promises which he now makes to us".
    And there is, perhaps, no better way to imitate the behaviors of our Lord and Savior than to study out his life and teachings, to come to know him by learning of his miracles, his sermons, his faith in the Father, and his willing sacrifice so that we might return to live with him again.
    Truman Madsen, whose broad knowledge and deep reverence for the subject of our Savior's life and teachings is unprecedented, brings to us the remarkable and inspiring series Jesus of Nazareth. For the first time, all four volumes of the series are available in one economical package.
    The first four ninety-minute talks include little-known details about the hallowed places where our Lord lived and taught in mortality.
    Tapes four through eight then begin a fascinating chronological exploration of the Savior's life, covering the period from Jesus' birth in Bethlehem to the encounter with the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well.
    Tapes nine and ten offer important commentary on the supernal Sermon on the Mount, while tape eleven contains a rare on-site recording made in an ancient cave, which provides the setting for a fascinating discussion entitled, "The Light That Shines in Darkness." The twelfth tape in the series, "Three Parables for Our Time," explores Jesus' well-known parables of the wheat and the tares, the fig tree, and the ten virgins.
    Finally, the last installment of the series--four talks on the final week of the Savior's mortal ministry--will take listeners on a journey they will not soon forget. Recorded on-site in the Holy Land, these recordings give listeners a sense of actually walking where Jesus walked, from the Mount of Olives to the Garden of Gethsemane to the Garden Tomb.
    Jesus of Nazareth is truly a landmark series--a presentation that will leave no listener untouched as they take part in the remarkable insight and palpable Spirit present as Truman Madsen discusses our Savior's life, character, example, and infinite atonement.
