The second volume of Lund's The Kingdom and The Crown series deals with more of the life of Jesus and his effect on everyday people - be they Jew or Gentile.
This aspect of Lund's writing, the ability to construct believable characters that interact with their world is what I liked most - that and to see how an author would tackle the biography of Jesus in a fictional setting.
