Summary
In Jesus: The Son of Man, the renowned Lebanese-American mystic and poet Kahlil Gibran presents a deeply moving, imaginative portrait of Jesus—not as a distant theological figure, but as a living, breathing man whose spiritual presence moved all who encountered him. Through fictional monologues by those who may have known him—disciples, enemies, strangers—Gibran crafts a timeless, multidimensional reverie on the life and soul of Christ.
This 1945 hardcover (thirteenth printing) is a stunning example of fine craftsmanship. Bound in black cloth with gold embossing and Gibran’s symbolic artwork, the volume features sewn binding and deckle-edged pages that add to its tactile and visual appeal. The illustrations, taken from Gibran's own original drawings, enrich the meditative tone of the prose.
A spiritual and artistic masterpiece, this volume is ideal for collectors of religious literature, fans of Gibran, and seekers of soulful, poetic works that transcend doctrine.
