These fruits of the earth were like pictures, to teach us that all earthly gifts, whether of possessions or of talents, are to be first dedicated to the Lord, and then to be used for the benefit of our fellow creatures. But do we so employ our abilities and our property for the glory of God, and for the good of our fellow creatures? No, from childhood we fail in performing our duty towards our Creator, and towards our neighbour, and we shall certainly be condemned, when we come to give an account of what we have done in the body, if we do not v Lev. ii. 8--10. understand how to lay hold of the mighty deliverance offered us in Jesus Christ: for God seeing man has destroyed himself, took compassion upon us, and sent his only begotten Son into the world to satisfy the laws we have failed to fulfil. 48.

To Christians worldwide, the man Jesus of Nazareth is the centerpiece of history, the object of faith, hope, and worship. Even those who do not follow him admit the vast influence of his life. For anyone interested in knowing more about Jesus, study of the four biblical Gospels is essential. The second edition of Four Portraits, One Jesus has been updated throughout to meet the needs to today's students. It is a thorough yet accessible introduction to the four biblical Gospels and their subject, the life and person of Jesus. Like different artists rendering the same subject using different styles and points of view, the Gospels paint four highly distinctive portraits of the same remarkable Jesus. With clarity and insight, Mark Strauss illuminates these four books addressing the following important areas: First he addresses the nature, origin, methods for study, and historical, religious, and cultural backgrounds of the Gospels. He then moves on to closer study of each narrative and its contribution to our understanding of Jesus, investigating things such as plot, characters, and theme. Finally, he pulls it all together with a detailed examination of what the Gospels teach about Jesus' ministry, message, death, and resurrection, with excursions into the quest for the historical Jesus and the historical reliability of the Gospels. This textbook together with its workbook, video lectures, and laminated sheet gives students everything they need for a thorough and enriching study of Jesus and the Gospels.
