The Four Witnesses by Robin Griffith-Jones

The Four Witnesses by Robin Griffith-Jones

"Who do you say I am?" Each Gospel offers its own answer to Jesus's question, influenced by the context of its writing and the personality of its writer. All four Gospels taken together provide what one alone could not: a remarkably full and compelling presentation of Jesus and his message.

Bringing the stories of Jesus to life for the contemporary reader, Robin Griffith-Jones revives the original power and intent of each of the four gospels. Mark's gospel tells the rebel's story of Jesus as a failed revolutionary whose mission mysteriously succeeds. For the rabbi Matthew, Jesus is the long-awaited fulfillment of Jewish expectation. For Luke, Jesus is a heroic, compassionate social revolutionary who confidently and mercifully dies on behalf of all humanity. John's gospel is a mystic's interpretation of the divinity of Jesus told in powerful poetic language. The Four Witnesses brings the reader both a deeper understanding of the Gospels, but also the knowledge that Jesus and his message are still challenging people of faith.Robin Griffith-Jones taught New Testament at Lincoln College, Oxford University for several years. When he recommitted to Christianity, he worked with Mother Teresa and then as an Anglican priest in London and Liverpool, ministering to the poor and the homeless. He was recently appointed Master of the Temple in London, where he combines priestly work, teaching, and public speaking."One of the finest non-specialist introductions to the Gospels available today."- Religious Studies Review
