Yasu' Ibn al-Insan (HC dakaa)يسوع ابن الإنسان

Jesus the Son of Man, His words and His deeds as told and recorded by those who knew Him'. Gibran's work from 1928, first written in English, here in the Arabic language. Still one of Gibran’s most well-loved works over 75 years after its original publication, 'Jesus the Son of Man' is a striking fictional portrait of Christ as seen through the eyes of his contemporaries.

Depicting a variety of famous figures, from Mary Magdalen to Pontius Pilate, Gibran’s spellbinding collection of narratives combines historical authority with the supreme eloquence that his admirers hold so dear. Fully conscious of the social, political, and religious realities of Palestine and Rome at the time, and at home with the local traditions and language, Gibran effortlessly evokes the spellbinding power of Christ’s presence upon his associates.
