Rev. DeWitt Talmage brings to life - from sacred and "profane" literature - a new and cohesive life of Jesus. Profusely illustrated, many in colour, by the masters of many centuries. Designed into small sections to be read on a regular basis. Illustrated with more than four hundred superb engravings of the people, places and scenery of the Holy Land by distinguished artists, and forming a beautiful and complete Picturesque Bible Lands. Among the other illustrations are accurate copies of nearly Two Hundred of the Famous Paintings of the Old Masters which have so long enriched the Galleries and Cathedrals of Europe, but were never before published in America. Also, a Grand Panorama of the Crucifixion, in twelve colours and ten feet in length, showing the city of Jerusalem, the surrounding country, and the people and their costumes as they were on the day of the world's greatest tragedy. 656 pages.
