Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story-Life of the Son of Man: Nearly a Thousand Stories From Sacred and Secular Sources in a Continuous and Complete Chronicle of the Earth Life of the Saviour And there are also many things that Jesus did, which, if they should be written one by one, not even the world itself, I suppose, would contain the written books. Amen. - John xxi. 25 (rendered literally). This simple supposition, which closes the Fourth Gospel, gives an idea of the vastness of the work confronting one who attempts to piece together from the almost infinite sources the heart-breaking story of the Saviour´s life as a Man among men. During the eighteen centuries which have elapsed since the latter days of John the Beloved, the work of filling the world with books about his Lord has been going on. This fact - that there is room in the world for more books about Him - would seem to be the chief excuse for another Life of Christ. Yet a better reason is to be found in the Story-Life idea - of selecting the best that has ever been written or spoken about the Son of Man, and arranging it, story after story, bit by bit, as a mosaic is made, into a vivid and attractive picture. This lends itself admirably to choosing the very best of everything that can be found to compose the completest arrangement of the most beautiful story ever told, as given by hundreds of authors, in many lands and languages, from Holy Writ and secular history, on all sorts of authority from the plain Gospel of Matthew to the palpitating descriptions of Marie Corelli; stories have been taken also from Renan and from the profane legends which serve to illustrate how inadequate is the human mind, unaided by inspiration, to describe "the sinless years that breathed Beneath the Syrian blue."
