Jesus, the Man Who Lives

"Muggeridge's masterpiece, the greatest achievement of his life as a writer."--The London Times

One of the most arrestingly insightful reflections ever written on the life, person, and teachings of Christ.

In Jesus, the Man Who Lives, the celebrated British author Malcolm Muggeridge offers a meditation that was deemed by The London Times to be his "masterpiece, the greatest achievement of his life as a writer." Muggeridge's portrait of Christ is at once deeply personal and universally accessible.

Beginning with the assertion that the "coming of Jesus into the world is the most stupendous event in human history," Muggeridge provides astute commentary on the events of Christ's life, his teachings, his parables, his prophecies, and his relationships. Along the way, he happily punctures many of the cherished myths held about Jesus--and about itself--by the modern, self-satisfied, largely post-Christian world. With his trademark honesty and wit, Muggeridge concludes that "either Jesus never was or he still is. I assert that he still is."

This new, fiftieth-anniversary edition proudly reintroduces Malcolm Muggeridge's profound spiritual meditation to a new generation of readers.
