The Master

A LIFE OF JESUS CHRIST

by Walter Russell Bowie

Rector of Grace Church in the City of New York There have been many books about Jesus. Some have emphasized the historical side, others the supernatural and the doctrinal. Dr. Bowie gives the human side of the personality whose surpassing power, he shows, lies in no miraculous unlikeness to the life he seemed to share, but in something profoundly at one with the most native intuitions of the human mind and soul. With poetic insight yet with the fearless directness of modern scholarship the author has set old facts in a new light and poured fresh meaning into ancient creeds.
