This handsomely illustrated picture book gives an overview of Jesus' life beginning with the angel Gabriel's visit to Mary and ending with Jesus' ascension into Heaven. With so much material to cover, Wildsmith limits each event to just a sentence or two. The symmetrical compositions and gold borders give a formality to the otherwise loose paintings. This is a useful, albeit brief, introduction.
