Hurlbut's Life of Christ For Young and Old


Read by LibriVox Volunteers

(4.6 stars; 7 reviews)

Hurlbut's Life of Christ For Young and Old is a detailed, chronological presentation of the life of Christ, relying heavily on quoted portions of Scripture/ Rev. Hurlbut makes the gospel story accessible for the reader as each episode and teaching is presented as natural dialog. The Life of Christ is a worthy companion to his larger multi-volume Story of the Bible. These are true classics of Christian literature. - Summary by Larry Wilson (0 hr 5 min)

Reviews

Hurlbut's Life of Christ For Young and Old


(5 stars)

Excellent presentation of the Life of Christ in Story form, importantly, in portions retaining the exact words from the Bible. Enjoyed the book very much. Thank you!!


(2.5 stars)

All the readers are very good, and I appreciate the historical context offered, but unfortunately the author continually inserts his own suppositions and speculation, not found in the Bible.

Great to have such a narrative of Jesus's life on earth
