A wonderful resource for students and for all who wish to encounter Jesus Christ."--Thomas R. Schreiner, Professor and Associate Dean, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (2/25/2020 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Books on this subject may be so technical that only scholars can make sense of them. Not so here. The author makes wonderfully plain what the Gospel writers were convinced of--that Jesus is Lord, and that his life, teachings, self-sacrifice, and resurrection are not dead tales of the past. Rather, they are truths that remain life-changing right now. Read each Gospel with this book as a guide. It will give you fresh eyes for Jesus's meaning on the vast stage of first-century Jewish expectation and Roman history. And it will open up avenues for the informed personal commitment to Jesus <i>now</i> that all four Gospels commend."--Robert W. Yarbrough, Professor of New Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary (2/25/2020 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"I have always longed for a work that helps us read the Gospels well, not merely to understand what happened but also to grasp their theological import. Success at that task is no small endeavor; it requires facility in historical context, literary structure, exegesis, and theology. In <i>The Jesus of the Gospels</i>, Köstenberger has brought all these qualities together in clear exposition so that we have a companion that walks us through the Gospel accounts, explaining the significance of each event the way the Gospel writer desired us to see them. This volume is an invaluable resource and a must have for all those who yearn to know our Lord's life the way the biblical authors fully intended."--Abner Chou, John F. MacArthur Endowed Fellow, The Master's University and Seminary (2/25/2020 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"In <i>The Jesus of the Gospels</i>, Andreas Köstenberger supplies a much-needed resource for an often neglected audience: college students. You get first-rate, up-to-date scholarship without getting bogged down in overly technical detours suitable only for doctoral students. In a clear, engaging, and inspiring way, Köstenberger centers on the most important questions and issues confronting students when they study the life of Jesus. As a well-respected and established evangelical scholar, Köstenberger offers a thorough treatment of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John without losing sight of the one, fourfold gospel. Brilliantly done! I highly recommend <i>The Jesus of the Gospels</i>."--J. Scott Duvall, J. C. and Mae Fuller Professor of New Testament, Ouachita Baptist University (2/25/2020 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"In this helpful introduction to the Jesus of the canonical Gospels, Andreas Köstenberger helps us all to appreciate that Jesus was far too complex a historical and religious figure for one portrait to do him justice. We should be thankful that we have four, each of which contribute something to our overall understanding of our Savior. Portraits are not like bare photographs; they are inherently interpretative in their very nature, and so what we actually have in the New Testament are four distinct--but yet compatible--portraits of the real Jesus of both history and faith, which help us 'see him more clearly, love him more dearly, and follow him more nearly, day by day.' Highly recommended."--Ben Witherington, III, Professor of New Testament for Doctoral Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary (2/25/2020 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Köstenberger's <i>The Jesus of the Gospels</i> is intended to be an introduction to the four Gospels for college students and, very intentionally, as an introduction to Jesus. The consistent focus on the biblical text ensures that the life and message of Jesus is indeed the center of the book. The fruit of many years of careful scholarship, this fine, easily accessible introduction is highly recommended for Christians and non-Christians alike."--Eckhard J. Schnabel, Distinguished Professor of New Testament, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (2/25/2020 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"This text completes Köstenberger's three-volume venture in studying the life of Jesus. The other two books cover Jesus's earlier and latter days, respectively. The author's aim is to offer college-aged readers a reliable guide to pursue along with the Gospels in a personal or group setting. Commendations to both Andreas and Kregel Publications for publishing yet another solid work of research, wisdom, and application in this readable text."--Gary R. Habermas, Distinguished Research Professor, Liberty University (2/25/2020 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"This work is a succinct overview of the four evangelists' individual accounts of the life of Christ. Köstenberger is the guide you want for this pilgrimage through the four Gospels. Landmarks and contours are pointed out, light is shone on some of the more difficult texts, and there is even a plan to tour the four books in thirty days. Those who are journeying this terrain anew will be aided to know Jesus and to acknowledge the Gospels as the good news--the best news ever!"--Abraham Kuruvilla, Professor of Preaching and Pastoral Ministries, Dallas Theological Seminary (2/25/2020 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Whether you're new to the Bible or have been reading it your whole life, <i>The Jesus of the Gospels</i> will serve as a reliable companion to your reading. Providing a helpful mixture of explanations of terms and events, insights on Old Testament background, and overviews on how each Gospel is arranged, this book will serve to broaden and deepen your understanding of who Jesus is and what his ministry and message is all about."--Nancy Guthrie, Bible teacher and author of Saints & Scoundrels in the Story of Jesus (2/25/2020 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"While we have many books about Jesus and the Gospels, we have very few that do what Andreas Köstenberger's does. Here, finally, is a volume that is introductory and accessible, but without sacrificing scholarly depth and up-to-date research. Such a combination will be a great benefit to college-aged students and to any Christian looking for a jargon-free overview of the Gospels."--Michael J. Kruger, President of Reformed Theological Seminary (2/25/2020 12:00:00 AM)<br>
