Christus

This book is Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1872 work, "The Christus: A Mystery". Written during the latter portion of his productive career, it concerns "various aspects of Christendom in the Apostolic, Middle, and Modern Ages". This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in religious history, and constitutes a must-have for collectors of Longfellow's seminal work. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) was an American poet and member of the Fireside Poets. He famously translated Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy", being the first American to do so.
