This vintage copy of Fulton Oursler’s “Greatest Story Ever Told” offers a compelling retelling of the life of Jesus Christ, drawing from the four Gospels. Published in 1949, it became a bestseller and a beloved classic, capturing the imagination of readers with its vivid and accessible narrative style. Oursler, a former editor of Reader’s Digest, brought his talent for storytelling to bear on the most influential figure in Western civilization, presenting the events of Christ’s life with a sense of drama and humanity. Beyond its literary merits, this work holds significance as a reflection of the post-World War II era, when many sought solace and meaning in religious texts. For collectors, this well-preserved hardcover edition, despite its imperfect dust jacket, represents an opportunity to own a piece of 20th-century publishing history and a testament to the enduring power of the Christian story.
