The Public Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ Vol. I- Alban Goodier

The Catholic Wire Publications is pleased to present the three volume masterpiece of Archbishop Alban Goodier: The Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

A beloved read among seminarians and clergy alike, this work possesses the rare quality of bringing the Gospels vividly to life—remaining faithful to Sacred Scripture while delving deeply into the inner struggles, emotions, and spiritual journeys of those who encountered Christ.

Goodier’s writing does more than narrate events; it reveals the hearts of the people surrounding Our Lord and, most movingly, the inner life of Jesus Himself.

Educated at Stonyhurst and a member of the Society of Jesus from 1887, Alban Goodier was ordained in 1903 and appointed Archbishop of Bombay in 1919. Beloved for his practical charity and pastoral zeal, he gained firsthand experience of missionary life—an experience that profoundly shaped his spiritual in sight and helped him to understand the difficulties and trials that Our Lord endured in His own Messianic mission. Due to political and religious tensions in the region, he resigned his see in 1926 and later set tied at St. Scholastica’s Abbey, dedicating the rest of his life to preaching, retreat work, and writing.

The Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ remains one of his most enduring contributions to Catholic literature—a spiritual classic that continues to draw readers into a deeper love and understanding of Our Lord.
