The Seeker's Guide to Jesus in the Gospels [Paperback]

Steve Mueller (Author)

Book Description

Series: Seeker Series | Publication Date: October 2001

Jesus left behind no writings, autobiography, or soul-searching diary to help us understand his life and work; to know him, we rely on the accounts of his friends, which were shared, collected, and shaped after his death. In this introduction to the life of Jesus, Steve Mueller helps us explore the Gospels in an effort to understand the extraordinary life of this first-century Jew from an obscure village in Roman Palestine

"Mueller writes in 'plain English' helping all seekers better understand and appreciate Jesus and his relevance for our daily lives." -- Daniel J. Pierson, Founder, faithalivebooks.com

From the Publisher

Jesus' words and acts are so well known that it is easy to forget that the best accounts of his life come from Gospels written after his death. In this illuminating new addition to the Loyola Press Seekers Series, author Steve Mueller presents a concise and insightful exploration of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, showing readers how to use these works to learn about Jesus. Mueller also reveals how these documents, though written long after Jesus lived, are authoritative sources for the authentic meaning of Jesus' life, works, death, and resurrection.

The Seeker's Guide To Jesus in the Gospels by Steve Mueller (Editor and Writer for Living the Good News Publications) is a thoroughly "reader friendly" introduction for both laymen and New Testament students seeking a better knowing and understanding Jesus Christ through the Gospels, and the other writings about him left behind by his friends and contemporaries. A straightforward account designed and written for Christians of all ages, and offering them a superb beginning to understanding the Jesus of the New Testament, The Seeker's Guide To Jesus in the Gospels is an ideal and prized contribution to New Testament Studies in general, and the life and teachings of Jesus Christ in particular.
