Book SynopsisHelps us appreciate how challenging the Gospels are and how exhilarating the vision of Jesus they offer
Trade ReviewWith characteristic sensitivity and freshness, Trevor Dennis asks the Gospel authors why they describe things in the way that they do. His rigorous interrogation is attentive to details that are often missed, to characters that are overlooked, and to expressions that are sometimes misconstrued. His own rich analysis of what is going on shows that sometimes the Gospel narratives do not always seem to be fair to their subjects . . . in a most remarkable way Trevor Dennis gives those very narratives a second chance. -- George J. Brooke, Rylands Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis Emeritus, University of Manchester
