The Messiad: A Christian Illiad (1904)

By William Martin Jordan

Book Overview

The Messiad: A Christian Illiad is a book written by William Martin Jordan in 1904. It is a retelling of the story of Jesus Christ through the lens of Homer's epic poem, The Iliad. The book is divided into 24 chapters, each representing a different book of the New Testament. Jordan uses the same epic style and language as Homer to create a unique and compelling narrative of the life of Jesus. The Messiad is a Christian allegory that explores themes of sacrifice, redemption, and the struggle between good and evil. It is a thought-provoking and inspiring work that offers a new perspective on the story of Jesus and its relevance to modern readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
