"Geikie's Life of Christ."
The "Life of Christ," by Cunningham Geikie, D. D., is widely known as one of the most interesting and helpful books published. The author has by clear description of the country and people, and by a grouping of historical facts, given such an introduction as better prepares the mind to an understanding of the acts of Jesus. Beginning with a description of the Holy Land, and picturing Palestine at the time of Christ, he then gives an account of the reign of Herod. These, with a chapter on the Jewish world in the time of Christ, and another about the Rabbis and their ideas respecting the Messiah, enable us to see a wealth of meaning in the words and acts of Christ, which usually are but poorly understood. Over 800 pp. 60 cents postpaid.
