A vivid retelling of the greatest story ever lived, a dramatic and moving recounting of the birth, life, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Christ, from one of our best-known and most-loved American Catholic leaders

“Precisely the kind of writing that the Pope is hoping for in order to restore devotion to Christ.”—Father Benedict J. Groeschel, C.F.R.

Widely proclaimed a classic work of Christian faith, Life of Christ has been hailed as the most eloquent of Blessed Fulton J. Sheen’s many books. The fruit of many years of reflection, prayer, and research, it is a passionate portrait of the God-Man, the teacher, the healer, and, most of all, the Savior, whose promise has sustained humanity for two millennia.

With his customary insight and reverence, Sheen interprets the Scripture and describes Christ not only in historical perspective but also in exciting and contemporary terms—seeing in Christ’s life both modern parallels and timeless lessons. His thoughtful, probing analysis provides new insight into well-known Gospel events.

An appealing blend of philosophy, history, and biblical exegesis, Life of Christ has long been a source of inspiration and guidance. For those seeking to better understand the message of Jesus, this book is a must-read.

Blessed Fulton J. Sheen (1895–1979) was one of the most prominent Catholic leaders in American history. He was bishop of Rochester, national director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, and television’s first religious broadcaster, hosting Life Is Worth Living on the ABC network. Sheen’s cause for canonization is currently under consideration. He was beatified by Pope Leo XIV in 2026.
