Christ the Life: A Gospel Psalm

How might a literary artist write the incomparable story of Christ for our time? God said so much in the life of his Son, our perfect Savior and his fullest Word. Christ the Life begins with the conviction that the most beautiful poem in the world occurred when God spoke his Word in time. It is God’s divine poem performed, as old Simeon says, "in the sight of all nations."

As readers walk through the pages of Christ the Life, sensory detail brings life to the story of Jesus in Roman-occupied Judea of the first century. His words and life unfold across the major scenes of the Gospels with a significance that resonates across the span of Scripture. The book goes to the heart of the question of how we might tell the story of "the consolation of the ages" in a fresh and compelling way to a new generation.
