Review: Should be considered a classic of Christian literature : James A. Stalker (1848-1929) was a noted pastor and theologian of the Free Church of Scotland, and in 1879 he published this book as a handbook for Bible classes. Taking the Gospel accounts as his sole resource, Dr. Stalker weaves the various threads of Jesus' life together into a coherent and wonderfully understandable biography. As might be expected from such a Biblical study, certain facts that might be extracted from other resources (such as the existence of the Jewish sect of the Essenes) are completely overlooked. Also, if you have problems with Gospel record, such as considering it anti-Semitic, then you will also dislike this book. However, as for myself, I enjoyed the way that Dr. Stalker took the many facts I knew about Jesus, and presented me with a coherent story of Jesus' life, with all of the episodes of His life put into context. I found this to be a great read, and think that it ought to be considered a classic of Christian literature. If you love the Biblical account of Jesus' life, then you will enjoy this book - I did!
