'''The Man Nobody Knows''' (1925) is a nonfiction book by [[Bruce Barton]]. 

==Abstract==

"Presents an unconventional interpretation of the New Testament in which Jesus is portrayed as a social and virile man with strong qualities of leadership."--Publisher description.

Barton describes Jesus as "the world's greatest business executive", and according to one of the chapter headings, "The Founder of Modern Business", who created a world-conquering organization with a group of twelve men hand-picked from the bottom ranks of business. The book was one of the best-selling non-fiction books of the 20th century, but also the object of humour and criticism. The suggestion that Jesus was a sort of salesman was ridiculed and lampooned by radio, magazines and in movies.
