Description
"Fresh, exciting, challenging and mind-stretching" Christian Herald Now an SPCK Classic, this is probably the most popular modern introduction to the four Gospel portraits of Jesus. It is written by an internationally respected biblical scholar and Christian communicator. Time and again, this book delights the reader as it points out nuances of wording and presentation that are so often the clues to the gospel writer's mind and to his response to the figure of Jesus Contact.
First published in 1994, and revised in 2005, this classic edition includes updated suggestions for further reading at the end of the book
