Parallel lives of Jesus : a guide to the four gospels / Edward Adams. - Louisville, Kentucky : Westminster John Knox Press, (c)2011. - xiii, 195 pages ; 23 cm
Grappling with the gospels -- Four narratives, one story -- The Gospel according to Mark -- The Gospel according to Matthew -- The Gospel according to Luke -- The Gospel according to John -- The baptism of Jesus -- The feeding of the five thousand -- The walking on the water -- The transfiguration -- The death of Jesus -- The empty tomb.
This is an introductory guide to the four New Testament Gospels as overlapping accounts of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, each with its own distinctive emphases and concerns. Part One deals first with the fact that there are four Gospels in the canon and looks at how the fourfold Gospel emerged. The literary relationships between the Gospels are dealt with next, followed by the composition of the Gospels. Part Two looks at each Gospel, its structure, contents, style and narrative technique, its presentation of Jesus and its particular interests and themes.
