A Child's Life of Christ

by Anonymous

Back just before the turn of the twentieth century when
my grandfather was about ten years old he received a
copy of A Child’s Life of Christ that is in my library
today. It is full of wisdom that is as relevant today, for both
children and adults, as it was years ago when it was first
published by Henry Altemus of Philadelphia. It was in print by
Altemus from 1895 until 1933. As a result the originals are all
over seventy five years old and many are over a hundred.

A Child’s Life of Christ is too good a book to be allowed to fade into embrittled and yellowed obscurity. It has been newly typeset and carefully compared to the originals to avoid changes from the text as it was over a hundred years ago when my grandfather first read it.

A table of contents has been added, and some corrections were made where the source copy had problems that were not present in other printings. (Three additional copies were obtained, from three different printings. All four copies are slightly different.)

In all four of the original copies in my possession chapter numbering goes from XIV to XVI, but none of the story of
Christ has been left out.

Every attempt has been made make this new edition true to the originals.

Written as if to a child, to be read aloud. It was my grandmother's. I found it very interesting, both in language used and interpretations of things not spelled out in scripture.
