 The Church's Portraits of Jesus adds another voice to the ever-growing discussion about Jesus in recent media and scholarly conversations. While showing the unique portraits of Jesus offered by the four Gospels--Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John--the book also establishes an approach to understanding the communities who shaped the portraits. As contemporary Christians explore their portraits of Jesus, Bridges provides excellent questions and guidance.
This book is perfect for church, college, and seminary classrooms that focus on the reading of the Gospel narratives, theology, or interpretation approach. It is also an ideal book for Sunday Schools looking for study books. The Church's Portraits of Jesus is part of All the Bible, a new biblical survey series.
Linda McKinnish Bridges is a professor at Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond, Virginia, where she focuses on the Gospel narratives, particularly the Gospel of John. She has also written extensively on John's Gospel.
