Resumen del Editor

Fulton J. Sheen - bishop, scholar, professor, radio and television personality, and writer - spent his life sharing the Word of God with millions of Christians across the world. One of his best-known works is The Life of Christ, written in 1954. This book explores the foretelling of Christ's birth, his life, temptations, death, and resurrection. But while Sheen himself was a scholar and an academic, his recounting is both listenable and accessible to the layperson.

Life of Christ is considered a classic work of Christian faith. It is unique in its listenability, which is, perhaps, unsurprising from a theologian with decades of experience bringing religion to the masses on radio and television.

Broken into five parts, the book explores the early life of Christ, his temptations, the beatitudes, his public life and passion, and his death and resurrection. Sheen explains the meaning of Christ's words, as well as the significance of the trials and temptations he overcame. Through careful scholarship, he connects the events of Christ's life, showing how even the humble location of his birth on Earth shared an important lesson: Divinity is always where we least expect to find it.

More relevant than ever!

I can not believe how much more applicable this writing is post-2020 than even when it was written!

Excellent short review of the LIFE of JESUS CHRIST

I listened to the whole book on Palm Sunday as a preparation for Holy Week. I will definitely listen again and highly recommend.

A Very Thought Provoking Work From The 1950s

I greatly appreciated this work. The author was a Catholic Bishop from the 1950s. He was a renowned theologian who I specifically recall teaching on the radio. This work is similar in construct to a series of lectures or homilies. I liked it very much. I did proceed slowly. Although it is clearly written and very well read, there is much fuel for thought and I needed to take my time to digest it in pieces. Thank You….

Brilliant

This is enlightening! Thanks for your wisdom, Rev. Fulton. Great work that illustrated the immensity of the love of God for us!
