Jesus the Son of Man is a striking fictional portrait of Christ as seen through the eyes of his contemporaries. Depicting a variety of famous figures, from Mary Magdalen to Pontius Pilate, Gibran's spellbinding collection of narratives combine historical authority with the supreme eloquence that his admirers hold so dear. In an attractive gift format, this new edition allows Gibran's inspirational account of Christ to be heard once more.

About The Author
Kahlil Gibran (1883 - 1931) was one of the 20th century's most inspirational poets, authors, and artists. He is the author of The Prophet, the bestselling book of the 20th century.

Reader Reviews
While Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet is most beautiful and true, his treatise on Jesus is poetic and is written as though he interviewed each one of the people who knew and loved the man, as well as though who feared and hated him. The words he quotes are as new and expressive as though they had been said yesterday. Gibran loved Jesus and understood what loves and hates and angers Jesus had to deal with in his short thirty years of miraculous living on this earth. This is a book to keep and treasure and to renew an appreciation of this Son of Man.
