Publisher's Description
In the medieval, participationist tradition of reading Scripture, the four senses (Quadriga or PaRDeS), The Fourfold Gospel invites the reader into the mystery of union with Christ. Meditating on the literal, canonical, moral, and theological senses of the Gospels allows space for the Spirit's leading and growth. This fourth and final volume focuses on the unitive stage of the journey, eschatology, passion, and resurrection.

“The Scriptures—and especially the four Gospels—are an inexhaustible wellspring of living water, and DelHousaye draws from them with remarkable depth and insight. By skillfully employing the fourfold interpretive tradition (literal, allegorical, homiletical, and mystical), he invites readers into a reading of Scripture that is not only textually grounded but also spiritually expansive and richly layered. This book is a profound resource that will inspire pastors, teachers, and thoughtful readers to contemplate the deep things of God.”
“Not your average commentary, DelHousaye’s The Fourfold Gospel speaks to the integrated, whole person—affections, interior life, relationships, and practice, as well as the intellect. Every faculty of faith is engaged in these four volumes ‘so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work’ (2 Tim 3:16). This fourth and final volume is a masterwork, taking the reader on a pilgrimage alongside Jesus, giving a multicolored picture of the beauty and work of the Savior. As a pastor, teacher, and discipler, these volumes have enriched my personal study, as well as my discipling of future leaders in our denomination. John’s insight into the Scripture is thorough and his heart for Jesus to be known is exceptional. I highly recommend these books!”
“Unlike many commentaries which give answers, DelHousaye’s work invites a slow, reflective engagement with the text. Being invited into a conversation, the reader sits with their own response to the text prompted by premier scholarship and references that range from the early church mothers and fathers to current understandings of neuroscience. Rather than being spoon fed, we are companioned to an expertly prepared meal on which to feast, tasting each morsel.”
