One of the most successful radio programs of the past year was "The
Greatest Story Ever Told." This is a simple re-telling of the story
of the Christ in modern language and as if it were being approached
afresh as an entirely new story. This is the book on which the
broadcasts were based and it reveals why the radio program has had
such a wide appeal. Fulton ??Ousler knows how to write and from his
experience on THE READERS! DIGEST he has learned what sort of
writing has a popular appeal. The story of the Christ follows the
Biblical story. It is the traditional, the orthodox version of the
story of the Christ. But it reads like something new. That is an
achievement. Furthermore, it is so told that both Protestant and
Catholic can accept it. That is also an achievement. Teachers of
the Bible and clergymen will find this book illuminating as to how
the old, old story can be told as if it were new. (Kirkus Reviews)
Fulton Oursler's outstanding classic "The Greatest Story Ever Told"
narrates the ever-new, everlasting story of the life of Jesus
Christ. Written with powerful simplicity and set against a rich and
accurate historical background, this account of the greatest life
ever lived describes the moving story of Christ's nativity, the
flight of the Holy Family into Egypt, Christ's youth, His public
ministry, passion, death, and resurrection.
While there have been many lives of Christ published, few have
received so wide a popular acclamation as Fulton Oursler's classic
tale. Since it was first published in 1949, when it was instantly
acclaimed by both the secular and lay press and endorsed by clergy
of all faiths, "The Greatest Story Ever Told" has gone into scores
of printings, has been read by millions, and is one of the most
successful bestsellers of all time. The life of Christ is certainly
the greatest story ever told, and Fulton Oursler has told it
superbly well.
