Now Wills turns his remarkable gift for biblical analysis to the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Wills brilliantly examines the goals, methods, and styles of the evangelists and how these shaped the gospels’ messages. The earliest book, Mark, emphasizes Jesus the sufferer; in Matthew, Jesus the teacher; in Luke, Jesus the reconciler; and in John, Jesus the mystic. Hailed as “one of the most intellectually interesting and doctrinally heterodox Christians writing today” (<I>The New York Times Book Review</I>), Wills guides readers through the maze of meanings that have accrued around these foundational texts, revealing their essential Christian truths. <I>What the Gospels Meant</I> will prove to be a valuable source of wisdom and inspiration for all. 1693890 14 2 2008 What the Gospels Meant total:38|5:9|4:16|3:13|2:0|1:0| 38 148 92 8 2875298 0143142992 9780143142997 1 1 3.89 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2875298.What_the_Gospels_Meant 4 0 false Sun Dec 07 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 07 15:20:00 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 07 15:28:30 -0800 2008
