About this title

Synopsis

The more we understand the four gospels 'the distinct narrative and theological emphasis of each evangelist, the unique portrait of Jesus that each presents 'the better we come to know Jesus. This knowledge, of course, is much more than an intellectual awareness or knowing about someone. When we enter into the gospels, we come to truly know Jesus the Christ in an intimate way. Through this volume readers will become familiar with the world in which Jesus lived, the cultural customs, the important geographic locations, the biblical terms familiar to first-century Christians but foreign to a contemporary audience. In addition to charts, maps, and photos, this study of the gospels provides an excellent Catholic perspective, answering such questions as: How is the Bible used in the liturgy? What is the connection between the gospels and Catholic social teaching?

The Four Gospels lends itself to both quick reference and more in-depth study or meditation. Whether you turn to the volume for personal use or as part of a formal study, you will appreciate the gospels more deeply 'and know Jesus more intimately.

Review

"Little Rock Scripture Study has a well-deserved reputation for making the Scriptures more accessible to adult Catholics. The Four Gospels: Catholic Personal Study Edition continues this tradition. The materials that supplement the NAB translation provide helpful cultural and historical background. They make important connections to the liturgy, personal prayer, and Social Justice Teachings without detracting from the sacred texts they illuminate."
