What are the four Gospels? Are they collections of sayings or stories, biographies, or something more? In this volume of the Reading and Interpreting the Bible Series, Svetlana Khobnya and Kent Brower not only offer a promising answer to this question but also carefully examine the Gospels, noting their differences and similarities. Additionally, various methods of interpretation are introduced, the Gospels are analyzed for their use of the Old Testament, and special attention is given to the urgency of the historical setting in which they were written. With a chapter and a bibliography devoted to each Gospel, this book is an excellent resource for biblical study.
