Excellent essays on the life and mission of Jesus Christ.

[Mary · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hit and miss, as sometimes happens when an anthology casts a wide net. While some of these articles bordered on the edge of doctrine, it's always worthwhile to ponder more on Christ and Dr. Holzapfel remains my hero in this kind of scholarship.

It took me a month of Sunday's to read this book. It's not a light, easy, fluffy read. It's deep and thought provoking. It's one of those books that you could read 20 times and get something different out of it every time.

[Chris Yorgason · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent book. The subject matter clearly deserves five stars, but I only gave it four because the readability of the some of the essays was a little tough. Not too hard to understand, but not an easy read either. Overall, a fantastic collection of essays about our Redeemer.

Excellent subject matter. I got more out of some essays than out of others.

I liked how each chapter taught about the Savior.
