Excerpt from Jesus of Nazareth A long time ago there was a carpenter who lived in a little town called Nazareth. His tools were simple and few, and the wood he had to work with was poor, so that he could not do the fine work carpenters do nowadays. His name was Joseph, and he was quite poor. But he married a girl named Mary, and lived humbly and contentedly in his little house in Nazareth. Mary would do the simple housework and would spin flax or grind barley, while Joseph worked busily with his tools, and so they got along quite nicely. One day Mary was made very happy by God whispering in her heart that she should very soon have a little child. That was good news to Mary, and, as she thought about it, she determined that she would name her baby "Jesus." Now, some time after Mary had learned this good news, Joseph came home one day and said they should have to go to Bethlehem, another town, on some matter of business. So he saddled his patient little donkey, and put Mary on its back, and took his staff, and set out for Bethlehem. But when they reached Bethlehem, he found that there was no room for them in any house or at the inn. So he went into a little stable of the inn, where the cattle lived, and he and Mary lay down in the sweet hay to sleep. That very night, as they lay sleeping on the hay in the stable, the little baby was born. The good news had at last come true, and Mary was very happy indeed. She laid her little baby-boy in a manger, a trough out of which the animals ate their hay and grain, which made a very cosy crib for him.

Excerpt from The Living Jesus: The Words of Jesus of Nazareth It would seem to be unfortunate that the reader does not have the advantage that the hearers had, of coming to know the personality before being confronted with the announce ment of his identity. For two and a half months did the Great Teacher speak and min ister before he told who he was. He purposely refrained from that announcement, as he said, that he might make himself known before mak ing known his name. The reader will not be so prepared; yet he will not fail to find, if he reads with an open mind, that during his read-1 ing the truth is attested to by his own inner consciousness.

Excerpt from The Man of Nazareth IN writing this book, I have had the ordinarily intelligent man constantly in mind, and have tried to answer some of the questions about Jesus, which have often arisen in his thinking but have rarely passed his lips. But While writ ing for the people, I have never forgotten the experts, a fact which they will quickly perceive, if they will do me the honor to penetrate to the core of the volume. I have tried to observe the rules of the critical game, have practically used only the first three gospels, and, even in them, have clearly differentiated the sources. I am ready to defend my position in the scholarly arena. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Galilean: A Portrait of Jesus of Nazareth Jesus, it will be seen, limited his action entirely to the Jews. Although his sympathy for those despised by ortho doxy led him to admit pagans into the kingdom of God although he had resided more than once in a pagan country, and once or twice we surprise him in friendly relations with unbelievers it may be said that his life was passed entirely in the very restricted world in which he was born.
