b'BIBLICAL STUDIES AND THEOLOGYINTRODUCING JESUSThe Fourfold GospelANDREAS J. KSTENBERGERA book for those who think they know Jesus and for those who know they dont.Can anyone in our high-tech world truly understand someone who lived two thousand years ago? Can we get through twenty centuries of tradi-tion to the real person who started it all? Andreas J. Kstenberger shows that the Gospels, the four earliest records about Jesus, do just that. These writings, named Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, alongside key facts about the ancient world, bring Jesuss life, words, and legacy into focus.Introducing Jesusgetstotheheartofwhatwasandisimportant about Jesus. Andreas Kstenberger uses succinct prose to address these questions:What did each Gospel writer intend to convey about Jesus?What historical backgrounds help us understand Jesus better?What aspects of Jesuss life and teaching do the Gospels emphasize?What does Jesus mean to people living today?Adapted from Kstenbergers The Jesus of the Gospels (2020) for a younger readership, Introducing Jesus lends itself well to the typical organization of a high school year or college semester. A corresponding website includes resources for instructors.In this helpful introduction to the Jesus of the canonical Gospels, Andreas Kstenberger helps us all to appreciate that Jesus was far too complex a historical and religious figure for one portrait to do him justice.
