A new edition of Sheed’s classic work, his masterful account of the life of Jesus Christ - accompanied by over 100 illustrations by James Tissot.

To Know Jesus Christ is not a biography, nor is it a Gospel commentary. It is a book about the Christ of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. It is a book written for the many people who reverence him but barely know him.

Its object is not to prove anything but to meet someone.

An enthralling book. Frank Sheed has written what must be one of the most satisfying studies of the Gospels ever made. * The Month *
Spiritual reading of a new kind; simple indeed, deceptively so; objective; without a trace of sentimentality. * The Furrow *
