FROM THE PUBLISHER: In this highly readable introduction to the Gospels, Edward Adams demonstrates how the four canonical Gospels function separately--as unique accounts of Jesus' life--and as narrative renditions of a shared story: the Fourfold Gospel. Building on the premise that the Gospels are ancient biographies or "lives of Jesus," Adams examines parallel Gospel passages, highlighting the similarities and differences between them. He begins by approaching the four Gospels generally, then looks at each of them individually, and finally considers six key Gospel passages to further explore the unity and plurality of the Gospels in a more focused way. Adams's lucid prose helps to make this text ideal for beginning students of the Gospels.
DESCRIPTION: Adams, author of The Stars Will Fall from Heaven: 'Cosmic Catastrophe' in the New Testament and its World, presents this introductory text on the four Gospels of the New Testament. The author explains the dual nature of the canonical Gospels both as individual, differing accounts and a shared experience. The book is divided into three parts dealing with approaching the four Gospels, the individual Gospels and their narrative features, and a section covering selected parallel episodes. This book is intended for those engaged in New Testament Studies. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) |
