This is a charmingly written but conventional account of the life and ministry of Jesus. The author endeavours to illuminate his subject with the help of modern psychology, but we do not consider that he has added any notable contribution thereby. His attempt to employ psychoanalytic principles for the purpose is certainly unsuccessful. He starts by giving a short account of the Oedipus complex, but hastens to add: 'It is evident, as I have already said, that we must not take these words, hatred of the father, love of the mother, in the literal sense which we give them in our adult language' (p. 110).
