This new "Life of Christ" has collected together much of the best of the classic and contemporary writings and sermons about Jesus Christ that have been written or spoken by more than two hundred people, over the past two thousand years. Five sections cover the person of Jesus; his life; his death; the resurrection, ascension and return; and devotional responses to him. The material is grouped under comparison of modern viewpoints; theologians and Christian writers; poems, hymns, meditations and prayers; quotation collection; and check-lists. Contributions range from the early church fathers to 21st century New Testament scholars. C. S. Lewis once likened looking at the portrait of Jesus in the New Testament to viewing a work of art. He wrote: "We must look, and go on looking, till we have certainly seen exactly what is there. We sit down before the picture in order to have something done to us, not that we may do things with it. The first demand any work of art makes up on is surrender. Look. Listen. Receive. Get yourself out of the way." An Experiment in Criticism The Jesus Encyclopedia aims to assist us to "Look. Listen.
Receive" as we study the New Testament portrait of the incomparable Jesus.
