the Glory of Christ-The Christ in Gospels

In the unfolding drama of God's self-revelation to humanity, the four Gospels-Matthew, Mark, Luke and John-serve as the primary witness of the life and ministry of Jesus, and the hope of salvation and relationship with God that is found only through him. Here we find both the historical record and the theological foundation for Jesus' purpose in leaving the glories of heaven, coming to earth as a man, living a perfect life, dying on the cross and ascending to the Father. As each Gospel author articulated their record, they placed different emphases on various aspects of Jesus' life.In The Glory of Christ in the Gospels, Dr. Crossley first guides us through a harmonized and chronological survey of the Gospels, highlighting the key teachings and events that marked Jesus' life. Next are some explanations of significant facts and themes that are found throughout the Gospels. This is followed by a separate study of each of the four Gospel accounts, including a summary of the book, examination of its author, its context, uniqueness, distinctive features and Christology, its application and conclusion. A study guide is also included.In Jesus, we have a glorious Saviour-and a glorious hope-to share with people around the world and in our own communities. May this book help to ground readers in the historical record of Jesus' life, exploring how prophecy was fulfilled throughout his life, ministry, death and resurrection, and providing a strong foundation for interpreting and understanding this portion of God's Word.
