The Four

A Survey of the Gospels

The Gospels are a fourfold portrait of Jesus.

Deftly guiding readers through "the four," Peter Leithart delves into both the unique perspective of each gospel and their unifying witness to Jesus. The gospels are riddled with themes and types; Leithart reveals them and explains the Old Testament prophecies that intertwine with these apostolic books, as well as their underlying literary structures. He discusses the dating of the books, showing how the timeline of the four gospels lace together, and lays out Israel's history leading up to John the Baptist's birth.

For anyone navigating the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, The Four will give you your bearings.

Comments: Leithart brings together the Old Testament, biblical history, typology, literature, and the New Testament. He does this in a way that is understandable while showcasing the immense richness and depth of the gospels and the life and teachings of Christ. He starts with an introduction of the start of the new covenant, the inter-testamental period, and the fulfillment of many Old Testament prophecies before moving into a brilliant survey of each of the four gospels. It's a book I will return to man... More details
