Notes
The Life of Our Lord is a book by Charles Dickens, written between 1846 and 1849 as a retelling of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Intended specifically for his children, Dickens never meant for it to be published, as he kept the manuscript private, only for family reading and moral instruction. The book offers a simplified, heartfelt account of the Gospels, reflecting Dickens’s deep admiration for Christ's compassion, humility, and dedication to the poor and oppressed. It was eventually published posthumously in 1934, giving the world a glimpse into Dickens's personal faith and his desire to instill Christian values in his children.
