Lew Wallace—the legendary author of Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ—steps into that mystery with one of his most intimate works of Christian imagination. The Boyhood of Christ turns away from the spectacle of the Passion and asks a quieter, more human question: What might it have been like to watch Jesus grow?

Cette biographie historique et philosophique de Jésus-Christ a été écrite sur la base des Antiquités Juives de Flavius Josèphe, les évangiles canoniques, le Nouveau Testament, le dit évangile de Thomas ainsi que les manuscrits de la Mer Morte. Cette histoire romancée, ou roman historique, reprend la trame historique définit par les évangiles canoniques, c'est à dire que l'histoire commence par le baptême de Jésus par Jean-le-Baptiste et se termine par sa crucifixion.

The Bible is full of planted treasures, for God disguises significant matters for kings to investigate. He hides grand gifts of sustaining wealth. The strength of Christ, so many treasures.
