Benefit By Learning About Him

Surely no study could be more important today than that of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. "Look intently at . . . Jesus," urged the apostle Paul. "Indeed, consider closely [that]one." And God himself commanded regarding his Son: "Listen to him." This is what the book The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived will help you to do. -Hebrews 12:2, 3; Matthew 17:5.

An effort has been made to present every even in Jesus' earthly life that is set forth in the four Gospels, including the speeches he delivered and his illustrations and miracles. To the extent possible, everything is related in the order in which it occurred.

A scholar from the University of Chicago claimed recently: "More has been written about Jesus in the last twenty years than in the previous two thousand." Yet there is a vital need to consider personally the Gospel accounts, for as The Encyclopedia Britannica stated: "Many a modern student has become so preoccupied with conflicting theories about Jesus and the Gospels that he has neglected to study these basic sources by themselves." After a close, unprejudiced consideration of the Gospel accounts, we feel you will agree that the greatest of all evens in human history occurred in the reign of the Roman Caesar Augustus, when Jesus of Nazareth appeared in order to give his life in our behalf.
