I'm a fan of the "50 ideas you really need to know" books. They offer a range of subjects and years ago when people would actually browse a physical store for books, these would pop up (so to speak) and I found myself buying a few of them because they are really concisely written and interesting. In this book they explain the life of Christ with a timeline, who he was, what he did and what 2.1 Billion Christians believe; the condensed idea Jesus Christ is the son of God. They also included independent evidence of Jesus from Tacitus, Pliny and Josephus:
Aside from the gospels, there are three other independent historical sources that mention Jesus's life and death. At the end of the first century CE and the beginning of the second, two Roman historians, Tacitus and Pliny, and the Jewish chronicler Josphus all described him as a religious teacher living in Palestine. Tacitus includes the following just after an account of the great fire in Rome that occurred during Emperor Nero's reign in CE 64: 'Nero fastened the guilt of starting the blaze and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius [CE 14-37] at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus.' - page 30
This book has 49 other religious concepts you must know but this one was particularly good. Here a link to the Gospel narrative from Matthew, Mark, Luke and John on the arrest, crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
