Following on A House for My Name, Peter Leithart dives deep into the fascinating web woven by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Doubling as a scholar and a pastor, Leithart rejects much of modern textual criticism, but gleans from the best of it, especially the work of N.T. Wright, to show how radically political Jesus' message actually was. The book includes a chapter on the themes highlighted in each 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. The Gospel of Jesus: Following on A House for My Name, Peter Leithart turns his attention to the four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, guiding readers through the intricate web of connections that reveal the unified story of Jesus Christ. Leithart challenges a popular survey of the New Testament, as well as much of modern textual criticism, while still engaging thoughtfully with its best insights, particularly those of N.T. Wright. The result is a fresh, compelling picture of the radical nature of Jesus’ message and mission. Leithart dedicates a chapter to each of the four gospels, highlighting their unique themes and emphases. Readers will encounter Jesus as a new Lawgiver in Matthew, the Servant-King in Mark, the prophetic voice in Luke, and the eternal Son of God in John. These portraits, when taken together, enrich our understanding of who Christ is and what He came to do. This New Testament survey book is suitable for high school students and comes with review questions, making it an excellent choice for classroom or homeschool use. At the same time, pastors, teachers, and lay readers already familiar with the Gospels will find plenty of thought-provoking insights into the gospel and the modern world to deepen their study and strengthen their faith Peter J.
