Beskrivning
In this highly readable introduction to the Gospels, Edward Adams demonstrates how the four canonical Gospels function separatelyâ€"as unique accounts of Jesus' lifeâ€"and as narrative renditions of a shared story: the Fourfold Gospel. Building on the premise that the Gospels are ancient biographies or "lives of Jesus," Adams examines parallel Gospel passages, highlighting the similarities and differences between them. He begins by approaching the four Gospels generally, then looks at each of them individually, and finally considers six key Gospel passages to further explore the unity and plurality of the Gospels in a more focused way. Adams's lucid prose helps to make this text ideal for beginning students of the Gospels.

"For many students and laity one of the most troubling aspects of the New Testament Gospels is their overlap and yet obvious differences. Many wonder why this is so and how it should be understood. Edward Adams's The Parallel Lives of Jesus will help readers think through these questions and find answers that make sense." Craig A. Evans, Payzant Distinguished Professor of New Testament, Acadia Divinity College "Adams has produced a beautifully clear and succinct introduction to reading the one story of Jesus in four distinct narratives. His attention to the four Gospels themselves and to their various shared stories will be a great benefit to teachers and preachers, readers and students--so it is warmly to be commended." Richard A. Burridge, Dean and Professor of Biblical Interpretation, King's College London "Adams is a reliable guide who wears his scholarship lightly; readers already familiar with the Gospels will find fresh insights from the close reading of the texts, while those new to Gospel study will gain the confidence and skills, and the enthusiasm, to explore them further on their own. Highly recommended for students and for all with an informed interest in the Gospels." Judith M. Lieu, Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge
