How do the four different Gospels teach us different things about Jesus? Leithart dives into the differences between the different books and shows how their differences can be gloried in rather than apologized for.
In his sequel to the Canon Press bestseller A House for My Name , Peter Leithart dives deep into the fascinating web woven by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Writing as a scholar and a pastor, Leithart rejects much of modern textual criticism, but gleans from the best of it to show how radically political Jesus' message actually was. The book includes a chapter on the themes highlighted in each individual gospel, showing that Jesus is revealed as a Lawgiver, as a king, as a Prophet, and the Son of God.
This book is accessible to high school students and includes review questions for anyone who wants to use it in their curriculum. However, it will also give anyone familiar with the Gospels much to think about.
