Kehalusan ekspresi, keindahan bahasa, dan kedalaman pesan moral yang terkandung didalamnya, nyaris menjadikan buku ini setara dengan kitab suci. membius
I don't typically review books, but I felt I should offer something to this work of art.
Though it doesn't always line up with what the actual scripture says, it is incredible to read even fictional and postulated accounts of those who interacted with Jesus. Gibran does very well in showing three different peoples in regards to their view on Jesus of Nazareth: those who were committed to him, those who hated him and those who were indifferent.
Gibran's poetic voice is incredible, and even if fictitious, in the account of "Rachel a woman disciple" I find some of the most beautiful words that describe the Jesus that I believe in.
"He was a mountain burning in the night, yet he was a soft glow behind the hills. He was a tempest in the sky, yet he was a murmur in the mist of daybreak.
He was a torrent pouring from the heights to the plains to destroy all things in its path. And he was like the laughter of children."
"Jesus Himself was the Great Event."
I love Gibran's words and this book is definitely a keeper.
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.
كتاب ليس بدينى ولكنة تحفة ادبية قدمها جبران فى صورة قصص قصيرة يصور جبران المسيح من وجهة نظرة هو ومن خياله وليس كما جاء ف الانجيل لذلك كان يروى الاحداث كما يراها هو ... لذلك لايعتبر هذا الكتاب مرجعا دينيا الكتاب عبارة عن قصص قصيرة تصف حياة المسيح عن طريق اراء بعض المقربين و المعاديين للمسيح
مش عارف او مش قادر اكمله ملل ملل ملل. رغم إن الترجمة جيدة، مش عارف فيه ايه بقالي فيه كتير قوي مش بكمله جايز ارجعله في فترة بعد كدا بس مش دلوقتي خالص. التقييم نجمتين للترجمة
يصور جبران النبي عيسى في هذا الكتاب كما يراه هو من خلال مشاعره وخياله وليس كما يصوره الإنجيل أي أنه يتصور شخصاً آخر تماماً يسوع جبران مولود لأب وأم في الناصرة وليس من العذراء مريم فيروي الأحداث كما يراها هو فيحذف ويضيف كما يشاء لهذا فالكتاب ليس بأي حال من الأحوال مرجعاً تاريخياً أو سرداً لحقائق وأحداث.
“When love becomes vast, love becomes wordless. And when memory is overladen, it seeks the silent deep.” ― Kahlil Gibran, Jesus, the Son of Man
Jesus, the son of Man was first book I read from Kahlil Gibran. In this book we seek to gink Jesus in words of men, women, friends, and enemies. This book is beautifully written; like you were reading a poem. While reading it, my heart filled with peace and love, and my eyes with tear of quest. I could see Jesus in my mind as clear as in real world. That was divinely beautiful experience.
