Complete 2 Volume Set
"
This handsomely presented 1890 London edition of The Life and Words of Christ by Cunningham Geikie is offered here as a complete two-volume set, published by James Nisbet & Co. Renowned for its scholarly depth and vivid narrative style, Geikie's work became one of the major 19th-century attempts to reconstruct the historical, geographical, and cultural world in which Christ lived. These volumes explore the landscape, customs, languages, and religious traditions of first-century Palestine with remarkable detail, and this set includes the large, beautifully coloured folding map of Palestine that remains one of the defining visual features of these early printings.
Presented in matching original cloth bindings with gilt titles, the set retains its solid structure, clean typography, and the characteristic stately Victorian layout. Geikie's study blends theological reflection with historical research, offering both devotional inspiration and academic insight for readers. This complete two-volume set will appeal to collectors of Victorian religious scholarship, students of biblical history, and admirers of 19th-century theological literature."
