The Story of the Christ

Scot McKnight offers an accessible introduction to the life and work of Jesus. He begins by offering helpful background information on the reliability of the Gospels, the religious setting of Jesus' life, the heart of Jesus' teaching, and a summation of what kind of person Jesus was. The book then gives a continuous narrative account of the life and words of Jesus, woven together from the four canonical Gospels. This lets the story of the Christ speak for itself in the events of Jesus' birth and early years, his baptism and early ministry, the Sermon on the Mount, his healings and teachings, the road to Jerusalem, the way to the cross, and his passion and resurrection. - Publisher.
