The REAL JESUS of the FOUR GOSPELS

4:38:55

Description

This work brings together every explicit statement about Jesus found in the four Gospels, laying them side by side so listeners can hear the raw details without interpretive overlay. The author has carefully quoted the King James Version, noting where the accounts agree and where they diverge, especially on matters such as genealogy, conception, and early events in Jesus’ life. Brief explanatory notes accompany the passages, offering historical context while deliberately staying neutral, inviting you to draw your own conclusions about the man behind the stories.

In a second, more contemporary section, the book turns its eye toward the gap between the teachings recorded in the Gospels and the ways those teachings have been lived out by believers over the centuries. The discussion focuses on how these differences have shaped social, political, and economic realities, particularly in America today. Listeners will come away with a clearer picture of the historical Jesus as a human teacher and a thoughtful look at the lasting impact of his message.
