"Christ lives! The Eternal Galilean abides! Why then do we not recognize Him? Why do we delay in embracing the inevitable which is God? There is nothing new to be tried. There is no need of setting up new laboratories to test new faiths. We have tried them all and found them to be old errors with new labels. There is only one experiment that modern man has not definitely, really tried. And that is the love -- not of Jesus the Teacher, the Reformer, the Humanitarian -- but of Him who is true God and true man, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." The Savior's life is told in these pages in the inimitable and devotional style of one of the greatest communicator's of the Good News in our day and age.

 

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (1895-1979) was one of the most famous and best-loved religious leaders of modern times. As head of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, he did much to promote the foreign missions of the Catholic Church. As a radio and television personality, he had a faithful following of millions. As an author, he wrote over 30 best-sellers. A man of deep intellect and profound spirituality, he was blessed with the happy facility of being able to present the sublime mysteries of the Christian Gospel in a language that the modern age understands. The Eternal Galilean -- a fresh and vigorous retelling of the life of Christ -- is one of the most inspiring of his works, which have won a cherished place in the hearts and minds of people of all faiths.  Reviews "In this book Bishop Sheen tells the story of the Son of God. But he does more than relate history; he portrays some of the characteristics of the Eternal Galilean -- that Divine Person made Man in Nazareth. The doings and the teachings of Our Lord are told in language nicely adapted to the nuances of the author's thought. An occasional play on words, a well-turned sentence, an excellent choice of words throughout, combine to make this learned work a pleasant, almost poetic, piece of soteriological literature." --Catholic Historical Review  "A beautifully written life of Christ and one that might almost be called a modern version, comes from the prolific pen of Fulton J. Sheen. It is entirely different in its treatment and yet the author knows well how to present his subject in a language easily understandable to the world of today. Here is a volume that may well serve as an inspiration to the many readers who find Sheen's works especially penetrating and enlightening." --Boston Post  Top of Page
