“A reliable and lucid description of contemporary Gospel studies for the general reader. Mark Powell writes so clearly that this book will easily serve for individual study and church groups as well as a text in introductory bible courses.”
“In relatively small compass, Mark Powell has managed to resent the information that is essential to a sound understanding of the origin and nature of the Gospels. This little gem of a book is enhanced by numerous charts and diagrams, making it an ideal classroom textbook.”
