Handbook on the Gospels (Handbooks on the New Testament)

“Benjamin Gladd's Handbook on the Gospels provides an accessible and theologically rich guided tour through the testimony of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John to Jesus the Messiah, Son of God and Savior of the world. In a style that is both engaging and clear, Gladd shows how the four evangelists' selection, arrangement, and presentation of Jesus's deeds and words, in fulfillment of Old Testament promises and patterns, display the many-faceted glory of Christ's person and his redemptive mission.”

“Benjamin Gladd has provided students of all stages and pastors with a useful resource for reading, interpreting, and understanding the four Gospels. Offering a hybrid between big-picture introductions and technical commentaries, Handbook on the Gospels guides the reader through the rich contours of each Gospel in a way that skillfully unites the larger, canonical context of every passage with the specific nuances of its own narrative account. Avoiding an approach that talks about the Gospels from the outside or gets entangled in their debated details from too deep inside, Gladd offers a prudent text-based exploration of all four Gospels by walking the readers through the trails of their specific stories and sacred subject matters. A welcome guide for pastor and parishioner, student and scholar.”
