THE BEAUTY OF JESUS

A portrait of the perfect human character of Jesus Christ

By Clifford Pond

The character of Jesus has been abused by those who dwell on sexual perversion and relish what their corrupt minds imagine. The character of Jesus has also been subjected to the criticism of those who regard the portrait of him in the New Testament as to be too good to be true. Therefore we must examine some of the questions that have been raised.

In a day when Jesus is so grossly misinterpreted it is refreshing to have a portrait of the authentic Jesus of the Apostolic testimony. It is the real Jesus we meet in this book.

What is the right interpretation of the perfect character of Jesus Christ? What impact should a sight of his beauty have on us, beyond genuine admiration? Answers to these questions take us to the heart of the Christian faith and of Christian experience.

Clifford Pond, now in retirement from full-time ministry in pastoral work, writes a warm-hearted presentation of the perfect human character of Jesus Christ. Read as a devotional exercise, a chapter at a time, this book can be a challenge and a stimulus to holier living. Other titles by the same author, also published by Grace Publications, include Born Slaves (an abridged re-write of Martin Luther's Bondage of the Will) and Only Servants (a study of the responsibilities of Eldership).
