Logos will publish these 6 books in a collection if<\/em> there is enough interest. It’s been available for bidders F. W. Farrar, Life of Christ, published 1874, 744 pages.<\/p>\n F. W. Farrar, The Life of Lives (Further Studies in the Life of Christ), published 1900, 461 pages.<\/p>\n Of both volumes: Farrar was a devotee of liberal ideas (denied eternal punishment, suggested Darwin be buried in Westminster Abbey, etc.), and some of those ideas show up in the book. But it is nonetheless a helpful tome. Some good insights into the possible motives behind some of Jesus’s actions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n James Stalker, The Life of Christ, published 1882, 166 pages.<\/p>\n Mostly devotional, and follows the classic breakdown of chronology and emphasis (which I regard as somewhat flawed). But very readable, some helpful insights.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n James Stalker, The Trial and Death of Jesus Christ, published 1894, 185 pages.<\/p>\n Samuel Andrews, The Life of Our Lord Upon the Earth, published 1889, 624 pages.<\/p>\n Excellent study, very devotional, well said. I haven’t used Andrews as much as I have others, have always found him to be tremendously helpful.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n G. Campbell Morgan, The Crises of the Christ, published 1903, pages 477.<\/p>\n Focuses on 7 specific incidents in Jesus’ life\/ministry: birth, baptism, temptation, transfiguration, crucifixion, resurrection, ascension. Written in heavy prose, but worth slugging through. The sections can be read individually, which makes it good for research.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So, as I was saying, go here right now<\/a> and place a bid at $15 (just click on $15). If enough people do, Logos will publish it and you will have a lot of reading to do. Yes, you could go and buy them online used, but the cost for shipping the 6 books would be more than the $15. Many of these are available used pretty inexpensively ($3-10), but the cheapest Andrews book available<\/a> is $25.<\/p>\n In other words, you can’t lose. Unless, of course, you never read or reference them. In which case, send your $15 in to the IBEX scholarship fund!<\/p>\n UPDATE (9\/3): A friend has found Farrar’s Life of Christ for free<\/a>. \u00a0 I still think it’s worth $15 to get all 6 books and in the easy-to-use Logos format.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have found a good deal on 6 classic books on the life of Christ, for about $2.50 a book.

for a year now, I’d guess, but right now it’s near its tipping point<\/a>, and maybe we can push it over into production. These books are classics, and I just found more evidence of that when I went looking through my Life of Christ syllabus. Some years ago when I taught that class, I asked the world’s expert on the life of Christ for his brief thoughts on important books on the subject. He commented on all four of the below authors. Here’s a list of the books, and what Doug Bookman said about each.<\/p>\n
