A New Christ (Unabridged‪)‬

A New Christ, the first book by the inspirational author Wallace D. Wattles, is an attempt to ascertain by scientific study what Jesus was, how he lived, and what he taught. Wattles explains that in the common concept of Christ that arose in the Middle Ages, he was held up as a weak and meek figure who was despised. The author quotes from scripture to show that he was educated, that he had a commanding presence, and that he was not humble in the way the church portrays him. This work also looks at the background of Roman oppression, the sects of Jesus’ day, the apostles, the kingdom of God, and the teachings of Jesus.
