Who and what was Jesus of Nazareth? In this question and its answer is involved the whole of what we mean by Christianity. If it could be demonstrably proved that there never existed such a person as Jesus, Christianity, as a living force, would cease from the earth. There would indeed be a history, a literature that would interest people according to their tastes; but there would be no heart-changing, world-up-lifting system of vital and vitalizing truths and corresponding duties, binding upon the conscience of every human being and inspiring hope in every breast.

Review I was so impressed with the simple argument made by the author, as he took the Gospel story of Jesus and showed the evidence of His deity, that I sought until I found a copy for myself and copies for the libraries of the schools in which I have taught. The reader will find the book interesting, factual, and logically arranged, as the author builds his case for the supernatural Christ. He presents Jesus as His own evidence to His deity...I heartily recommend the book to all who are in search of a simple presentation of Jesus Himself as evidence to His deity. --Homer HaileyIn establishing the deity of Jesus there is no fact more outstanding and no stone more solid than Jesus Himself as presented by the Gospel records. Mr. Haygood caught something of the power and beauty of the original argument and recorded it for us in The Man of Galilee. --Ferrell JenkinsSome big books need to die; this little one needs to live. Haygood's Man of Galilee is a profound argument about the uniqueness of Jesus. --Melvin Curry

A conversation might resemble the following:How do you know Jesus is the son of God? Because the Bible says so.How do you know the Bible is accurate? Because Jesus said it was inspired.Why should I trust what Jesus had to say? Because Jesus is the son of God.I think the problem of logic is fairly obvious.Over the past few years there have been some great books written that help people with their faith on the subject of who and what Jesus is. Most notably is Lee Strobel. His "Case for..." books are very helpful and well written.However, I have never been as impressed with the flow of an author's argument as I was when reading Atticus G. Haygood's The Man of Galilee. The book does not exercise the common arguments of modern defenders. Though the book is over 100 years old I found its arguments and logic fresh and convincing.Haygood starts with the gospels as historical documents, as opposed to starting with them as inspired documents. From there he discusses the claims they make of Jesus against the culture and society of Jesus' day. The conclusion is that not only was Jesus not just an invention of gospel writers or, simply, a good man, He was in fact the Son of God!
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Reasoning for the Skeptic By Andy Sochor In The Man of Galilee, Atticus Haygood sets out to show the reader that Jesus is the Son of God. He directs his writing toward the skeptic, and presents arguments that can be used to show the deity of Christ to someone before they believe that the Bible is the word of God.Haygood addresses the claims that Jesus was an invention of the gospel writers and that Jesus was just a man. He makes his case by considering who the gospel writers were, and Jesus' words, plans, worldview, and life to show that Jesus could be none other than the Christ, the Son of God. Overall, the material in the book was rather good.However, there were a couple issues I had with the book. The first is the lack of Scripture citations. Granted, the author wrote this for the benefit of those who would not even acknowledge the Bible as God's word. But even when one quotes a regular piece of literature or reference material, a citation is given. There is little to none of this in this book. So one who wants to verify that the quotations do in fact come from the Bible, or wishes to study them further, needs to have a concordance to find the verses Haygood cites.The second problem I had with the book, which in my opinion is the more serious one, is with the author's view of the church. Haygood writes, "He did not so much as establish a Church. [...] He ordained no form of church government... All those things may be good, and order in government is necessary; but he did not provide them. He left all such things to the common sense and best judgment, guided by the providence and the Holy Spirit, of his disciples" (p. 78-79).Haygood's claim that Jesus established no church flies in the face of Jesus' words to His disciples: "I will build My church" (Matthew 16:18). The apostles did not establish a church. They did not invent the rules, doctrines, and practices of the church according to their own "common sense and best judgment." They certainly were guided by the Holy Spirit (John 14:26; 15:26; 16:13). But the Holy Spirit's guidance did not just give them better judgment and common sense, it revealed to them the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16), so that the things they taught were "the Lord's commandment" (1 Corinthians 14:37; see also 1 Thessalonians 4:2; 2 Peter 3:2).Haygood has a skewed perception of the role of human judgment in the church. His words suggest that men today can do whatever they please according to what their common sense and judgment dictate. Instead, we are bound by what the word of God teaches (Colossians 3:17). I cannot recommend this book without this disclaimer.But if one recognizes this fault, there is still much valuable material contained in this book. There are many good points in it that can help us teach unbelievers about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A tried and true case for Christ By Anonymous There are many religious books that manage to lose their relevance or clarity just years after they are written. However, more than a century after its original publishing, Haygood's Man of Galilee is not one of those books. The fact that a book can remain convincing and relevant after so long is a testament to the compelling power of the author's logic. The book is fairly brief, but every chapter is packed with helpful information on the subject. Haygood's case from the gospels for the historicity, uniqueness, and divinity of the character of Jesus Christ is both simple, and yet deeply thought provoking. I will need to read this again at some point to better absorb his arguments.If this book has any weakness at all, it is that Haygood doesn't seem to have much of an opinion of typology. (I almost got the impression that he viewed the study of typology as something unimportant, like a passing fad). He makes a few assertions through the course of the book about how Christ is wholly unique from the alleged OT type characters, but I wonder if perhaps he could have done a better job clarifying this point. In spite of this, I believe the book has earned its five stars in standing the test of time. Don't overlook this brief yet important apologetic work.
