On the mystery of the Incarnation, St. Paul says, "Being found in human form, he humbled himself." Fulton J. Sheen's presentation of the account of Christ's life in The Eternal Galilean, not as a mere exercise in biography or history, but as an essay in meaning, is inspired by this divine humility. Sheen delves into the unique significance of Christ's preaching and miracles, his passion, death, and resurrection, and his tripartite character of priest, prophet, and king to explain what it means that "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." The outcome is not just an informative account of Jesus Christ's life, but also a potent antidote to the modern age's maladies.
Written in the vital spirit of childlike humility, The Eternal Galilean is a passionate, at times poetic, meditation on the mystery of the Son of God, who came “to seek and to save that which was lost.”
