This highly readable work introduces Jesus through the distinctive portraits of him by the four Gospel authors. Writing in the light of the latest scholarship but without using technical terminology, Richard Burridge carefully works through each Gospel, offering a clear and illuminating interpretation of each Evangelist's view of Jesus based on the traditional Gospel symbols, and then discusses the implications of these four portraits of Jesus for Christians today.
