About this title

From Booklist:

Bringing together 200 selections, including biblical excerpts and prayers as well as stories and poems from such diverse authors as Joyce Kilmer and Mahatma Gandhi, this lavishly illustrated story of Jesus will find a ready audience. Though the textual selections are well chosen and effectively convey the facts of Jesus' life--beginning with what Christians believe are references to Jesus in the Old Testament and ending with the Resurrection and the Ascension--the book is intended primarily for browsing and, as such, offers a splendid assortment of excellently produced illustrations, ranging from the work of such artists as Gauguin and Goya through reproductions of stone carvings, archaeological artifacts, and medieval miniatures. Bringing a breadth and depth to the life of Jesus that readers will find immensely satisfying, the attractively designed volume, featuring colorplates on nearly every two-page spread, will have wide appeal in public libraries.
