Life of Christ

Description

Children’s Bible for adults
In the course of human history no one man has ever inspired so many people, been the source of so many works of art, literature and music, nor changed so many lives, as Jesus of Nazareth. The account of his birth, ministry, and death has been described as the greatest story ever told. Its telling has taken many forms but none has ever superseded the original – the Gospel story written down by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the Evangelists who gave the news that the Redeemer lived and would never die.
In this book, over 75 events from the life of Christ from Mary’s joyful ‘Yes’ to the glorious morning three days after the Crucifixion, when the disciples slowly came to realize the immense truth of the Risen Christ are brought alive by full colour illustrations and by the matchless poetry of the King James Bible. Angus McBride, the artist for this book, shows Jesus as a Jew, as a man who bore the marks of the toil, poverty and hardship of life in an obscure outpost of the Roman Empire, yet above all as one who to all he met and continues to meet healing and wholeness to the complete person. McBride’s attention to detail and historical accuracy makes first-century Palestine a vivid world to the twentieth-century reader. And additional factual information on many of the social, political and religious currents of the time of Christ add to the modern reader’s understanding of this man who never ceases to puzzle and intrigue – and inspire.
