The Messiad: A Christian Illiad is a book written by William Martin Jordan in 1904. The book is a retelling of the story of the Bible, focusing on the idea of a messiah figure who will come to save humanity. Jordan draws heavily from the Old and New Testaments, as well as from classical mythology and literature, to create a narrative that is both familiar and new. The book is divided into twelve chapters, each of which corresponds to one of the twelve books of the Christian Bible. Jordan begins with the creation of the world and the fall of man, and ends with the Second Coming of Christ and the final judgment. Along the way, he tells the stories of Adam and Eve, Noah and the flood, Abraham and Isaac, Moses and the Ten Commandments, David and Goliath, and many others.Throughout the book, Jordan emphasizes the idea of redemption and salvation through faith in God. He also explores the themes of sin, temptation, and the struggle between good and evil. The Messiad is written in a poetic, epic style reminiscent of Homer's Iliad, with vivid descriptions and powerful imagery.Overall, The Messiad: A Christian Illiad is a unique and thought-provoking retelling of the Bible story that will appeal to readers interested in Christian theology 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.
