Thoroughly engaging! J. Gresham Machen, the last of the Great Princeton Theologians, reveals The Life of Christ couched in his compelling prose. Relentless and clear, his voice resounds from nearly a century ago, comprehensively answering essential questions. From the historic scenario of Roman governance prepared to usher in Christ’s birth, Machen paints Christ’s family background, His baptism, ministries and growing popularity, ending with Christ’s own prediction of the cross. Calvary did not overtake Christ unawares. Christ went deliberately to His death that sinful man may escape eternal death. Beautiful!
