Khalil Gibran
'He was not a god, He was a man like unto ourselves; but in Him the myrrh of the earth rose to meet the frankincense of the sky; and in His words our lisping embraced the whispering of the unseen; and in His voice we heard a song unfathomable. Aye, Jesus was a man and not a god, and therein lies our wonder and our surprise.'First published in 1928, 'Jesus the Son of Man' is a collection of individual narratives or testimonies. With a poetic and evocative style, the book presents a unique and multifaceted portrait of Jesus Christ through the eyes of seventy-seven diverse contemporaries. These are both real and imagined figures, including his disciples, friends, priests or poets. The strength of the book lies in the variety of viewpoints presented, offering a rich and complex understanding of Jesus.This new edition comes with an Easy-to-Read Layout designed to make reading comfortable.
