Publisher's Description
In the spirit of Ludolph of Saxony (c. 1295-1378) and Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), The Fourfold Gospel invites the reader into the mystery of God's redemption in Jesus Christ. All the parallel passages in the Gospels are glossed together, along with the unique material, using a medieval interpretive approach called the Quadriga or the acronym PaRDeS in Hebrew. Meditating on the literal, canonical, moral, and theological senses of Scripture offers a scaffolding for the spiritual formation of the reader. This volume focuses on the illuminative stage of discipleship, the goal of the parables, along with Jesus's conflict with enemies and our mission.

“This is a truly unique work. The Fourfold Gospel offers deep Gospels scholarship from a dizzying range of sources, ties those exegetical insights into broader canonical themes, makes powerful moral application, and invites the reader into deeper intimacy with Jesus. As one of John DelHousaye’s former seminary teachers, I am delighted to let his two decades of rigorous study of Scripture, ancient Jewish and Roman sources, church history, and spiritual formation teach, encourage, and convict me. Thank you Dr. DelHousaye for this marvelous resource!”
“John Delhousaye has soaked in the canonical Gospels in a way that few people ever do. This is the third volume of this project in which he carefully moves through central themes of the narratives of all four Gospels—in this volume conflict, mission, kingdom parables, and compassion—taking us on a journey with him to meet the living Christ so that we may learn how to know and follow him more faithfully. This work combines a careful devotional reading with a scholarly engagement with the text.”
