LIVES OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

[Here also we can only mention a few leading works.]
See under Gospels, especially Nos. 971, 972, 973, and 981.

1. ANDREWS (SAMUEL). The Life of our Lord upon the Earth, in its Historical, Chronological, and Geographical Relations. Cr. 8va. 3/6. Lond., Strahan & Co. 1863.
   
   A good book for a student to read through before taking up larger works. It is a standard work.

2. BEECHER (HENRY WARD). Life of Jesus, the Christ. Earlier scenes. Thick 8vo. 7/6. Lond., Nelson. 1872.
   
   Here the great genius of Beecher glows and burns; but we are disappointed with his book as a biography of our Lord.

3. BENNETT (JAMES, D.D.) Lectures on the History of Jesus Christ. Second edition. 2 vols., 8vo. Lond., 1828. 6/6.
   
   Lively popular lectures, full of matter, well expressed, and possessing sterling excellence.
   
   
4. ELLICOTT (C. J., D.D., Bp. of Gloucester and Bristol). Historical Lectures. 8va. 12/- Lond., Longmans. 1869.
   
   This great author stands in the highest place of honor; but having no sympathy with what he calls "the popular theology," he should be read with considerable caution.

5. FARRAR (F. W., D.D., F.R.S.) Life of Christ. 2 vols., demy 8vo. 24/-Lond., Cassell, Petter & Galpin. 1874.
   
   THE work upon the subject. Fresh and full. The price is very high, and yet the sale has been enormous.

6. FLEETWOOD (JOHN, D.D.) Life of our Lord Jesus Christ. Also the Lives of the Apostles and Evangelists. Imp. 8vo. Lond., Mackenzie. S. 6/-.
   
   This has had a great run, and is to be found in farm houses and cottages. Why we cannot tell, except that the sellers of parts and numbers are fine hands at pushing the trade, and plates and pictures have caught the simple purchasers.
   
   
7. KITTO (JOHN, D.D.) "Life and Death of our Lord." Daily Bible Illustrations. (See No. 41.)
   
   Abounds in instructive matter.
   
   
8. LANGE (J.P., D.D.) Life of our Lord Jesus Christ With Additional Notes, by Rev. Marcus Dods, D.D. 4 vols., demy 8vo. 28/- Edinb., T. & T. Clark. 1864.
   
   We constantly read Lange, and though frequently differing from him, we are more and more grateful for so much thoughtful teaching.

9. NEANDER (J. A.W.) The Life of Jesus Christ in its Historical Development. Translated by Professors McClintock and Blumenthal. Sm. 8vo. 3/6. Lond., Bohn. 1853.
   
   Good as an answer to Strauss, but unsatisfactory from the standpoint of evangelical theology. Download it Here  (21 MB)
   
   
10. PRESSENSE. (EDMOND DE, D.D.) Jesus Christ: his Times, Life, and Work. Cr. 8vo. 9/-Lond., Hodder & Stoughton. 1875. The above work "abridged by the author, and adapted for general readers." Cr. 8vo. 5/-
    
    There have been many discussions upon the orthodoxy of this work, but it is a noble production, and is written in an adoring spirit. The accomplished author has made a valuable contribution to the cause of truth. Yet we are inclined to agree with the writer who said, "to write a life of Christ is to paint the sun with charcoal." The life of a Christian is the best picture of the life of Christ.
