by Fulton J. Sheen (Author), John Muggeridge (Foreword)
Widely proclaimed a classic work of Christian faith, Life of Christ has been hailed as the most eloquent of Fulton J. Sheen's many books. The fruit of many years of reflection, prayer, and research, it is a dramatic and moving recounting of the birth, life, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Christ, and a passionate portrait of the God-Man, the teacher, the healer, and, most of all, the Savior, whose promise has sustained humanity for two millenia.
With his customary insight and reverence, Sheen interprets
the Scripture and describes Christ not only in historical perspective but also
in exciting and contemporary terms -- seeing in Christ's life both modern
parallels and timeless lessons. His thoughtful, probing analysis provides new
insight into well-known Gospel events.
An appealing blend of philosophy,
history, and biblical exegesis, from the best-known and most-loved American
Catholic leader of the twentieth century, Life of Christ has long been a source of inspiration and guidance. For
those seeking to better understand the message of Jesus Christ, this vivid
retelling of the greatest story ever lived is a must-read.
