QUOTES ABOUT The Greatest Story Ever Told
Now and then, every fifty years or so, a truly great “Life of Christ” appears. Fulton Oursler’s book is in the great tradition of these “Lives.” In my opinion, it is one of the most distinguished books of our time. —NORMAN VINCENT PEALE Marble Collegiate Church, New York City
It is thrilling to read the pages because one gets the feeling of actually being present during all the great events of this, the greatest life ever lived.
—WALTER HOVING President, Hoving Corporation; Former President, Lord & Taylor
It has recaptured the spirit of the times and made me feel that I was an eyewitness. I am confident it will be a classic in its field and do a world of good. —REV. JOHN A. O’BRIEN Head of the Dept. of Philosophy, University of Notre Dame
My fellow Jews will value it for its historic interpretation of a most illustrious member of our race—Jesus of Nazareth. In my humble opinion, the book not only SHOULD, but WILL have quick universal acceptance. —OTTO N. FRANKFURTER
With reverent imagination he has recaptured the original setting of our Lord’s life. The reader breathes the atmosphere of Palestine and views Christ as the eternal contemporary. —REV, RALPH W. SOCKMAN Christ Church, Methodist, New York City
It is a beautiful tale and Fulton Oursler has told it beautifully. There has been much suffering and hatred in the world over the centuries due to distortions of the crucifixion story. This book will do a great deal to promote the harmony and good will that we all desire so earnestly. NEWMAN LEVY
Author and Lawyer
The Greatest Story Ever Told might well serve as a design for human life and a guide to eternity. —-J. EDGAR HOOVER
It is said that a life of Christ is published about once a month. But not such a life of Christ as this! REV. SAMUEL M. SHOEMAKER Calvary Church, New York City
