هي وصف لحياة المسيح لكن على لسان من كانوا معه . من خلالهم أعطى صوره له و لمن معه من وجهات مختلفه . كما نقل على لسانهم وصف اهم مراحل حياته

An interesting and beautifully written series of letters or orations from people who's lives crossed the path of Christ. Whether written as fiction or suppositions or some cosmic past life remembering, the stories are poignant and reflect a view of Jesus that is in alignment with the gnostic writings and scriptures. A great read for anyone who has a spiritual interest in the life of Christ.

به شما گفته‌اند: قاتل باید زیر تیغ برود و دزد باید مصلوب گردد و زناکار باید سنگسار شود،اما من به شما می‌گویم : در جرم آن‌ها بی‌تقصیر نیستید و اگر تنها جسم آن‌ها را مجازات کنید به ارواح درونتان ستم کرده‌اید! به راستی هیچ مردی یا زنی به تنهایی جرمی را مرتکب نمی‌شود،بلکه همه‌ی ما به نوعی در ارتکاب آن جرم سهیم هستیم. اما آنکه جزای جرم را می‌پردازد،حلقه‌ای از زنجیری که بر پایتان است را می‌گسلد و با رنج و اندوه،بهای شادی ناپایدارتان را می‌پردازد!

Love. This. Book.

Currently reading it. Gibran is extremely captivating and this is unlike anything I've read.

Not as I expected it to be, but it was good.

Impressive- I wrote down few quotes from it in my bedroom wall- YES on the Wall well I guess it is greater than the impact of paint, as it is entertaining to the eyes, nourishing to the mind, and a constant reminder of what we should cherish the most.

I found it as beautifully written as I’ve come to expect from Gibran, delivered in prose that carries the grace of poetry. The work is presented as reminiscences of Jesus from those who knew him, with reflections offered in the months or years after his disappearance. Those contributing are many familiar Biblical personages — the disciples, the various Marys, minor characters in the New Testament like Simeon and Joseph of Arimathea, as well as invented ones — Greek traders, Syrian farmers, etc. Their opinions on Jesus vary widely: while most speak of him with awe and love, there are others who still scoff and spit. Beauty prevails, though. When Gibran has Jesus or the disciples speak, their language is drawn from the New Testament but given a certain Gibranian flair. Those familiar with Gibran will recognize his poetic style, interpreting and bringing the beauty of many Gospel stories all the more to mind. I’m going to follow this post with a few quotes; more are available if you follow me on Goodreads. I loved it and was reminded of why Gibran has stayed so close to my mind in the fourteen years I’ve known of him.

Gibran's poetry and tales of the life of Christ. Gibran here is as moving and touching as ever.

This book is amazing. In the same vein as Faulkner's As I Lay Dying, this book looks at Jesus from the points of view of 30 or 40 contemporaries. It's all brilliant fiction, and presents so many sides to the man that i urge everyone to read it. Mary Magdeline describing his sensuous lips and her undying love for the man is so touching, while listening to a rich man vilify Jesus show keenly the milieu in which Jesus lived.

Thoughts and Meditations

One of the most beautiful books i have ever read.
