Publisher's Description
What the Gospels Tell Us about Who Jesus IsThis clear, compact introduction surveys what the Gospels tell us about who Jesus is by exploring his teachings and actions in their contexts. Darrell Bock, a leading evangelical New Testament scholar who speaks and teaches around the world, and Benjamin Simpson treat the Gospels as reliable sources for a plausible portrait of Jesus. Condensing years of extensive study on the topic, this handy, readable textbook presents fresh ways to understand the Gospels, especially the Synoptics in comparison with John.

“In this book with Ben Simpson, Darrell Bock, one of evangelicalism's leading historical Jesus scholars, takes the fruit of decades of technical scholarship on every major phase of Jesus's life, death, and resurrection and offers it concisely at a very readable level. Particularly helpful is the view that the Synoptics present Jesus from the earth up, whereas John depicts him from heaven down. An excellent resource that deserves widespread use.”
“Jesus the God-Man provides readers with an excellent entry into the ins and outs of critical study of the historical Jesus. Darrell Bock and Benjamin Simpson cover all the major points of importance and debate. They do so judiciously, fairly, and with clarity and precision. I am pleased to recommend it.”
“From his lengthy experience researching Jesus and the Gospels, Darrell Bock has provided a substantive overview of the ministry and identity of Jesus. This book is packed with information, giving insight into the issues of Jesus research and offering a balanced and meaningful portrayal of Jesus. It will serve the church well.”
“Every student of the Gospels must come to terms with the different yet complementary ways in which the evangelists present Jesus. This excellent study of key themes in Jesus's life and ministry will greatly aid readers in arriving at a historically accurate and theologically satisfying understanding of the greatest person who ever lived.”
