Reviews
"For many students and laity one of the most troubling aspects of the New Testament Gospels is their overlap and yet obvious differences. Many wonder why this is so and how it should be understood. Edward Adams's The Parallel Lives of Jesus will help readers think through these questions and find answers that make sense." Craig A. Evans, Payzant Distinguished Professor of New Testament, Acadia Divinity College "Adams has produced a beautifully clear and succinct introduction to reading the one story of Jesus in four distinct narratives. His attention to the four Gospels themselves and to their various shared stories will be a great benefit to teachers and preachers, readers and students--so it is warmly to be commended." Richard A. Burridge, Dean and Professor of Biblical Interpretation, King's College London "Adams is a reliable guide who wears his scholarship lightly; readers already familiar with the Gospels will find fresh insights from the close reading of the texts, while those new to Gospel study will gain the confidence and skills, and the enthusiasm, to explore them further on their own. Highly recommended for students and for all with an informed interest in the Gospels." Judith M. Lieu, Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge
