Charles Dickens

The author of such works as "Oliver Twist" and "A Christmas Carol" retells the story of Jesus Christ for his own children.

The Life of Our Lord

Erin Darlyn

Charming, though casually written and unedited, so there are typographical errors in it. However, it is also littered with inaccuracies and whitewashed depictions of Jewish history. Additionally, it depicts a works-based means of salvation (the “do good and be good and you can thereby gain entrance into heaven” idea) rather than what Jesus taught. It reads like a watered down retelling of the four gospels but with key details eliminated or rewritten to suit the author’s / period’s / locale’s narrative.
