Now an SPCK Classic, this is probably the most popular modern introduction to the four Gospel portraits of Jesus. It is written by an internationally respected biblical scholar and Christian communicator.

This work examines the four canonical Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—exploring their unique perspectives and commonalities to understand the singular identity of Jesus Christ. Burridge analyzes the literary and historical contexts of each Gospel, offering insights into their distinct portrayals of Jesus and how they collectively contribute to the Christian understanding of his life and mission.
