About the author

Harry Emerson Fosdick was an American clergyman. He was born in Buffalo, New York. He graduated from Colgate University in 1900, and Union Theological Seminary in 1904. While attending Colgate University he joined the Delta Upsilon Fraternity. He was ordained a Baptist minister in 1903. Fosdick was the most prominent liberal Baptist minister of the early 20th Century. Although a Baptist, he was Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church on West Twelfth Street and then at the historic, interdenominational Riverside Church (the congregation moved from the then-named Park Avenue Baptist Church, now the Central Presbyterian Church) in New York City.

Reviews

[Wendy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is written as an historical account, and the opinions of the author (whether he's a believer in Christ or not) are not entirely biblical. However, it was interesting to read this account. The true and accurate account of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ can be found in the Bible.

Another landmark novel. I was really excited to read this novel about Jesus. I wondered how one writes a biography on such a figure. I have to give the author credit. I think they did a great job on research.
