Trustworthy and True

Description

After 2,000 years the four gospels remain the heart of the Christian message to the world. But the development of scriptural studies over the last century has left many people perplexed and puzzled about the gospels. In this book, the author uses the contributions of gospel scholarship to illuminate the gospels with new insights. He traces the story of Jesus both in the synoptic tradition of Mark, Matthew and Luke, and in the separate tradition of John. He shows how on the basis of the historical record of Jesus, the faith of the early Christian communities developed. He illustrates how the gospels continue to speak powerfully to people of our time and remain “trustworthy and true” as the third millennium of Christian faith begins.
