- Notes
- "[By] Arthur N. Thompson".
- Sub-title on cover: The people who encountered Jesus and their responses to him.
- Includes bibliographical references.
- The author, an Anglican priest, talks about the Christian faith saying: "Where did this all begin ? It began when Jesus met people and challenged them with the Good News that God loved them and accepted them as they were." -- Preface, p. 8.
- "This book is a series of studies about the people who encountered Jesus and their responses to Him. There were those like Judas Iscariot who first said yes but later said no, and some like Jesus' own brothers and sister who first said no, but later said yes. [This book] is suitable for private reading and for group Bible studies. Each chapter comes provided with Bible passages and questions for discussions". -- back cover.
