First published in 1945, Jesus the Carpenter's Son offers teachers and parents a lively biography for their young readers. Here is the story of Jesus--told simply but spiritually--with words that bring familiar and not-so-familiar scenes to life.

Complete with illustrations and a key to biblical sources, Jesus the Carpenter's Son makes a valuable addition to the family library.

"Written with imagination and vitality. As background we are given the history of the period, the cruel yoke of the conqueror, the sense of disgrace and sorrow under Roman rule, the surroundings of Nazareth and Galilee, and the conditions of Jewish family life. . . . Such a book can be wisely used by [those] who want to help children visualize the kind of world in which Jesus lived." --Alice Jordan, The Horn Book

Sophia Lyon Fahs's contribution to the liberal religious movement is immeasurable. An authority on the education of children, she served the American Unitarian Association as Editor of Curriculum Materials for Religious Education from 1937 to 1961. She maintained that faith should not be imposed on a child, but should grow out of natural curiosity. The author of numerous books for and about children, Fahs has been hailed as a true pioneer in child-directed education.

Excellent

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2007

Verified Purchase

An outstanding portrait of Jesus, as the son of a carpenter and not the son of God, with special attention to his youth days, bringing out the essential of his thoughts and vision, focussing on his humanity, tolerance, and love for fellow human beings. Beautifully and clearly written, the book uses an unusual approach of avoiding all the parts regarding miracles and the such, in order to concentrate on the core of Jesus deep convictions and messages.
