“The title is likely to mislead the general reader; the work is not a contribution to the study of Jesus, but to the study of genetic psychology. Librarians need to note this in cataloguing it. The student who wishes to know what Jesus said and did, or to understand the gospels, will find only incidental benefit here; it is not the psychology of Jesus which is treated, but the psychology of those who have reflected on Jesus. How the human mind has reacted upon this name; above all, how a modern encyclopedic mind, superlatively trained in psychological analysis, reacts upon it, is exhaustively and illuminatingly presented.” C. R. Bowen

“That the work will prove valuable will hardly be questioned. ... Dr Hall will not expect all to agree with his conclusions. We think very few will. But hardly any will fail to appreciate the fine spirit of the author; the great mass of material, gathered by the toil of many years; and his introducing them to a method which is sure to throw much light upon him whom the author calls ‘the best of all beings.’” F. W. C.

“A notable contribution to the understanding of Jesus. Probably no other man possesses either the equipment or the sympathy necessary to write this book.”

“In his first chapters Dr Hall treats with notable comprehensiveness the conceptions of Christ’s physical appearance and character that have been set forth in art and literature from earliest times down to the immediate present, discussing and weighing each with care and thoroughness and judicial temper. Among the very recent books thus considered in which Christ or Christian teachings are the theme are, to mention only a very few of the large and diverse list, Kennedy’s ‘The servant in the house,’ Jerome’s ‘Passing of the third floor back,’ Maxwell’s ‘The ragged messenger,’ Moore’s ‘The Brook Kerith,’ Selma Lagerlöf’s ‘Miracles of Anti-Christ,’ Zangwill’s ‘The next religion,’ while discussion at some length is given to the cult of the superman, which Dr Hall calls ‘The chief and most extraordinary literary phenomenon of our time.’”

“Whether God, Jesus Christ, and Christianity are anything more than psychic phenomena according to Dr Hall’s philosophy he does not make clear; but he makes it quite clear that he thinks this a question not important to answer.”

“It is unfortunate that a work containing so much learning and so authentic vision should be expressed in such heavy and difficult English. The style often obscures the ideas it seeks to express. Otherwise, the book is a valuable contribution from one of America’s leading psychologists to the pressing religious problems of the time.”
