About this title

Synopsis

Jesus Christ: His Times, Life And Work. Translated From The French By Annie Harwood. 2Nd Ed. Rev — Edmond De Pressensé. This devotional yet historically grounded study defends the four canonical Gospels, focusing especially on the final phase of Jesus’s earthly ministry, including the crucifixion, resurrection, and post-resurrection appearances, and argues for their unity, apostolic authority, and their interpretation of Jesus as the divine Savior. The work situates Jesus within first-century Judaism and Greco-Roman culture, examining the Gospel narratives, the role of witnesses, and the birth of the Church as a mission to all nations. It engages with objections from modern biblical criticism, defends miracles, and highlights themes of religious liberty, the separation of church and state, conscience, and the transformative power of love. Through exegesis of events from Bethany to Jerusalem, the Passion, and the Great Commission, the author presents a comprehensive historical-theological map of Jesus’ life and the church’s birth, emphasizing conscience, holiness, and the universal mission.
