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.
