W. Cleon Skousen, the second of nine children, was born in Raymond, Alberta, Canada, in 1913. He moved to California with his parents at the age of ten.
He began a careful study of the scriptures at the age of 17 when he was called on a mission to England, and had a well-known scriptural scholar, Dr. John A. Widtsoe, as his first mentor.
He subsequently graduated from George Washington University with a Juris Doctorate degree. After law school, he spent sixteen years with the FBI, four years as chief of police in Salt Lake City, and then served for ten years as a full professor at Brigham Young University in the Department of Religion.
He has written more than a dozen books on scriptural subjects and considerably more on various secular themes.
He has conducted many tours to the Holy Land and has lectured in 45 different countries.
He and his wife Jewel have eight children and fifty grandchildren.

Many wonderful and inspirational surprises lie within the covers of this book and its companion, Volume 2. Over Twenty-five years ago, Dr. Skousen had concluded that just about everything connected with the life and mission of Jesus Christ had been written. Then he began to find some scriptural treasures that had been missed.
Before long he was deep into a comprehensive study of the life and mission of the Savior that finally culminated in these two volumes. Volume 1 covers the birth of Christ, His early years, the Sermon on the Mount and much of His ministry here on earth. The reader will grasp a new concept of the love Jesus had for the Jewish people and also discover a whole new scriptural basis for Peter's denial of the Christ. It is believed these two volumes will provide a new, dynamic, three-dimensional appreciation of the Savior and those who labored with Him.
