The most eloquent of Fulton J. Sheen's many publications, Life of Christ, has been acclaimed as a classic work of Christian faith. It is a dramatic and poignant account of Christ's birth, life, Crucifixion, and Resurrection, as well as a passionate depiction of the God-Man, the teacher, the healer, and, most importantly, the Savior, whose promise has sustained humanity for two millennia. Sheen analyses the Bible and describes Christ not only in historical terms but also in thrilling and contemporary terms, recognising both modern analogies and everlasting truths in Christ's life. His careful, in-depth examination sheds new light on well-known Gospel occurrences.
Life of Christ has long been a source of inspiration and instruction, with its appealing blend of philosophy, history, and biblical exegesis from the best-known and most-loved American Catholic leader of the twentieth century.
