THE SON OF MAN The Story of Jesus, by Emil Ludwig. English Version. Illustrated.

Description: THE SON OF MANTHE STORY OF JESUSby EMIL LUDWIG "Far from its being my purpose to shake the faith which those who live in Christ have in the divinity of Christ, my aim, rather, is to convince those who regard the personality of Jesus as artificially constructed, that he is a real and intensely human figure. 'Had he never lived,' says Rousseau, 'the writers of the gospels would themselves have been as great as Jesus.' My aim is, not to expound teaching with which all are familiar, but to portray the inner life of the prophet...The development of that world of self-feeling, the aims and motives of a leader, his struggles and weaknesses and disappointments; the great spiritual battle between self-assertion and humility, between responsibility and discouragement, between the claims of his mission and his longing for personal happiness." (The Author in the book section "To The Reader") This book is written in an engaging, imaginative style, but we are assured by the author in his notes "To The Reader" that "nothing has been superadded; ... One who would venture to ascribe to Jesus imaginary sayings and doings, should be a person at least equal to Jesus in intuitive power. Chapter and verse in one or more of the gospels can be given for everything that Jesus is here portrayed as having said or done; only in outlooks and methods of expression, only in the bridges of thought whereby the words and the deeds are interconnected, has the author given free reign to imagination."

We attempt to choose those that align with our values of good and godlike character and morality in living. Many of our books come from sources who we believe share our same values, but others do not, and even though we try to screen all the books we sell to know the gist of what they are about, and get an idea about the intent and character of the author, it is impossible for us to always be sure that every book we list comes completely up to our standards, since we cannot possibly read every page of every book.
