Four Gospels, One Christ: The Public Ministry of Jesus
Ebook
Overview
The four Gospels are the only books in the Bible to tell the same story from four different angles. Together, they show us not only what Jesus was like and how he lived, but how his life can become the model for our own. Four Gospels, One Christ offers an overview of the three years of Jesus’ public ministry--what he did and how he did it--as seen through the eyes of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. And by exploring the themes that run through the four Gospels, it invites us to reflect on what it really means to "follow Jesus."
”Once more, Michael Hooton writes with clarity on New Testament
themes which others overcomplicate, and yet in the clarity of his
writing he has not lost depth of understanding. He takes the
well-worn paths of the life of Christ, his teaching and actions,
and presents them in a contemporary context with clear pastoral
insights for all. I commend this book for preachers and church
leaders as well as those growing in faith and discipleship. It is a
rich feast of wisdom and truth from the Gospels."
--Dianne Tidball, Regional Team Leader, East Midlands Baptist
Association, UK; President Elect, Baptist Union of Great
Britain
"[Hooton] ensures the reader will go deeper and wider than merely
the narrative of these well known Bible books. Great truths
are comprehensively expounded always with Jesus Christ central to
all. The content stretches thinking but intentionally not beyond
the ken of the ‘ordinary believer.’ A fine, fresh addition and
insight on the great gospel writings."
--Phil Pye, AOG National Leadership Team, United Kingdom
“At a time when many make superficial claims about the character
and teaching of Christ and use their ‘straw men’ as the model of
Christianity, Hooton invites the reader to consider again the real
substance of this character and teaching by revisiting the Gospels
that reveal the real Jesus so we can follow with confidence,
knowing the journey will be life-changing."

President of Global Teen Challenge
