Book Reviews of Life of Christ
Book Review: A truly remarkable work
Summary: 5 Stars
Fulton Sheen is arguably at his best in his "Life of Christ", which, as he said in the book's introduction, he wrote "when gall did mix with ink in those dark hours". Suffused with scriptural references, exegetical insights, and a truly down-to-earth manner of bringing to the reader what is important in each Gospel narrative of this Nazorean called the God-Man, Fulton Sheen conveys to the reader a Person's life that is hard to reject, is hard to spurn once understood. This is a book that must be read a number of times over a period of one's life for a full benefit to indwell in the reader. Combined with Sheen's "The Priest Is Not His Own", "The World's First Love", and "Go To Heaven", the "Life of Christ" emerges with them as the working of a truly gifted and genuinely kind-hearted communicator, a text which marks Sheen as one of the truly inspiring religious writers of the 20th Century.When I met Fulton Sheen at his office in 366 5th Avenue in 1966 I departed thinking to myself "Only one such person comes along every hundred years like this Bishop". When I read his "Life of Christ" for the first time in 1970 and most recently last year, I knew that what I thought in 1966 was truer than I had ever imagined.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
Book Review: A wonderful work
Summary: 5 Stars
"Life of Christ" is an in depth view into the life of our Savior. This will serve me in many years to come as a great resource. Most intriguing for me were the parallels between the cross and the grave. The distinguishing nuances of "Son of God" vs "Son of Man" are also very interesting. Overall this is a beautiful meditation into the "Life of Christ." The reader will walk away with a deeper understanding of Jesus' life and will have a deeper appreciation of His coming and going and will undoubtledly know that "HE LIVES".Book Review: Amazing

Quite simply, the best and most important book I have ever read. It will provide the reader with the understanding of Christ's life, death, and resurrection. It will provide the reader with the light of knowledge and wisdom. It will provide solace to the reader seeking the Truth in the world today. Fulton Sheen must be heralded as one of the world's great modern theologians.Book Review: An outstanding presentation of the historical Jesus
Summary: 5 Stars
The author has done an amazing historical review of the life of Jesus. A book to be given as a gift to every new Christian. A powerful book to understand who Jesus is and His mission; a book that is suited perfectly for Lenten reading. A reassuring work of truth and light in this time of satanic confusion about Jesus, His mission and His church.
