The Greatest Story Ever Told Fulton Oursler 9780385080286 Books
I missed reading the "Greatest" books years ago when they first came out. Too busy with kids and job. Recently I have been going to to read a lot of books I missed. this one is just so fulfilling. Few of us are historians of any achievement, and it is difficult to appreciate the life of Christ without a context in which to view it. Putting all of the events of his life in a chronological sequence set within the history and culture of his time makes his life so much more real to the reader. For the layman this is truly a gift. I do wish I had ready it much earlier in my lifetime, but better late than never. I will surely read the rest of the trilogy.

The Greatest Story Ever Told Fulton Oursler 9780385080286 Books Reviews
I didn't realize I was getting an original discolored copy. I was still able to read it. Good price and quick delivery.
This book and the other two that are in the trilogy are really wonderful. If you want to read the Bible in a language you really understand that isnot a fiction novel read this. Mary, Joseph and Jesus come alive on the pages. It firmly keeps true to the bible event by event. To use a pun ; it's the gospel truth. I recently bought this for the fourth time! Over the years, people borrow it and I NEVER seem to get it back. You will reread this over and over and somehow find your beliefs to be stronger.
If yo have never read the bible and want to get an idea in story form, this is a great book to help you understand the bible.
I can't put it down! Excellent story of the life of Jesus and filled with historical facts told in form of an exciting novel! Great for someone who finds the Bible hard to read and follow. I purchased for a family member who said she didn't want to read all the biblical who begot who!
"The Greatest Story Ever Told; (the Life of Christ) is a 'classic.' Seeing that I had the original first edition (first published in the 1950's) with my husband's (Her Dad) signature our oldest daughter wanted to have it so I ordered this copy to have one in my personal collection o share with others.
Wow, that was some story. There was a part about 40 pages from the end that I stopped, I knew how it ended and I didn't want to read that, but I did. When Jesus was arrested in the garden and then when Peter denied him, I cried a little. Humankind hasn't come very far have we?
This is a straight forward re-telling of the story of the gospel in a novel-like form. Oursler takes no liberties with the gospel message, but he does add some color to the story with historical details about the way people lived at the time. The types of housing, the food they ate, their modes of travel and even the details of Mary and Joseph’s romance give more substance and connection to the life of Jesus.
I enjoyed the book very much, especially reading the story of Jesus’s birth at Christmas time as I was. Written in the 1940s there are some phrases that seemed racist, and some caricature characters that were unnecessary, but overall the message is heartfelt.
