If you go to logos' Facebook or Twitter you can get a promo code for half off the below. I have never heard of it but gosh it sounds interesting especially for history and culture. Anyone have experience with this book?

Logos post a daily deal every day on their Twitter account at around noon UK time. They used to cost me a lot of money, but there hasn't been much that has interested me since Thanksgiving 2015. In all that time I think I've only picked up 1 book - maybe 2 at most.
Note that the Farrar book was published in 1888...
I agree Paul... almost always the DD never interests me but every now and then I find a gem.
Yes thank you Mary-Ellen. I did see that but I do know sometimes old books can be interesting. I am definitely curious about it and the examples looked interesting so I think I'll give it a go and return if not

Its ok- but there are much better resources available now- this is very dates!
I have not read it but I know it is a classic representative of the Lives of Jesus that were written in the 19th century. If you have the Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels, you can get a sense of the context of this "Life" in its time and its preoccupations (p. 329 under "1.5 French and British Lives of Jesus," a subsection of "Historical Jesus, Quest of"). Although Farrar is not specifically discussed there, you can also find a general entry on the Lives in the Lexham Bible Dictionary under Ernest Renan,
Thanks!
