The Messiad: A Christian Illiad is a book written by William Martin Jordan and published in 1904. It is a retelling of the story of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, in the style of Homer's epic poem, The Iliad. The book is divided into 24 chapters, each of which tells a different part of the story of Jesus, from his birth to his resurrection. Jordan's writing style is poetic and grandiose, with vivid descriptions of battles, miracles, and divine interventions. The book is written in a formal, archaic language that is reminiscent of the classical epics of ancient Greece. The Messiad is a Christian work, and Jordan's retelling of the story of Jesus emphasizes his divine nature and his role as the savior of humanity. The book is filled with references to biblical passages and Christian doctrine, and Jordan's interpretation of the story of Jesus is deeply rooted in his faith. Overall, The Messiad is a unique and ambitious work that combines the themes and style of classical epic poetry with the story of Jesus Christ. It is a testament to the enduring power of the story of the Messiah and its ability to inspire great works of art and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
