How many times have you listened to the Gospel at Sunday Mass and wondered, "What happens next?" Often, our only encounter with the Gospels is with isolated segments taken out of context, like unassembled jigsaw puzzle pieces, rather than the story of our Savior's life.
The Life of Jesus Christ: Understanding the Story of the Gospels seeks to alter that impression. Author Russell Shaw chronologically weaves together the events of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John's narratives to create a true and rounded picture of Jesus' life.
You've been looking for a scriptural companion, and The Life of Jesus Christ is it. The four Gospels, taken together, reveal Jesus Christ, God Incarnate, as a man of complexity and depth — compassionate but stern, knowing how to laugh and cry, a charismatic leader uninterested in worldly power, a subtle thinker who drew sublime messages from ordinary life. With Shaw as your guide, you'll truly get to know the Son of God in a new light.
