Four Gospels, One Jesus?: A Symbolic Reading

Rating:
Summary: Enlightening and Enjoyable
Review: This book changed the way I view the Four Gospels...and has deepened my faith in the one Jesus to whom they witness. The book is academic in its approach, addressing the most important areas of textual and theological criticism, and yet it reads like a devotional. Good stuff for scholars and laypeople alike!

Summary: A wonderful expansion of the Biblical imaging of Christ!
Review: This book has been one of my re-reads, and I don't have time for many. I recommend this as a balanced, intelligent reading of the varried stories of Jesus, without "liberal" or "conservative" bias.

Summary: An excellent guide to understanding the gospels.
Review: This is one of the most concise yet comprehensive books I've read on the subject, a book that effectively combines scholarship and faith. As Michael Green writes," Few academics emerge from the ivory tower to write in an attractive way for the general reader. Few theologians combine academic rigour with spiritual sensitivity. Richard Burridge does both these things,..." My students agree. They use and treasure their copy.
