Books on Jesus

[M21195]

I need some recommendations for books regarding Jesus. How to know him better, his character, a focus on who he is, etc..

 

[Polanus1561]

Flavel volume 1 has the best Christ centered sermons.

Looking unto Jesus by Isaac Ambrose

Knowing Christ by Mark Jones

Suffering Savior by Krummacher

 

[CathH]

The Glory of Christ by John Owen

(I'd also second Knowing Christ by Mark Jones)

 

[Stephen L Smith]

Reformation Heritage Books recently published a spiritual gem "The Glory of the Redeemer" (Winslow)

This is a beautiful book that will instruct both the mind and heart.

The mention of Hugh Martin made me realize that it was his book, "The Shadow of Calvary," I actually had in mind when I made the Leahy recommendation above. It is an amazing book.

I have been told one of the best; though more scholarly works on the subject is Peter Langes, "The Life of the Lord Jesus Christ;" it comes in either 4 or 6 volumes depending on what edition. It can be read for free on Google Books or Archive . org. I own this, but have yet to read it, so I cannot give a personal review.
