Synopsis

A clear, thoughtful look at Jesus’ life and the gospel records.

This study explains how the gospel accounts are understood in historical and religious context, and what they reveal about Jesus as Lord from Heaven. This edition presents the author’s two-fold aim: to defend the historicity of the Evangelic records and to interpret what the Evangelists wrote in light of faith. It traces Jesus’ earthly life—from birth and public ministry to the path of suffering—while explaining how early Christian belief formed around his person and mission. The text rewards careful reading with a focus on how the gospel story has shaped Christian faith across generations.

• Foundations of the historical method used to read gospel texts.
• How the life of Jesus is presented across the Gospels and in early Christian thought.
• Key themes such as the Messiah, the church, and the mission of Jesus in light of faith.

Ideal for readers of religious history and those seeking a structured, faith-minded view of the gospel narrative.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Days of His Flesh: The Earthly Life of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

The aim of this work is two-fold. In the Introduction I have endeavoured to vindicate the historicity of the evangelic records and adduce reason for believing, in opposition to an influential school of modern criticism, that they present Jesus as He actually lived among men, and not as He appeared to a later generation through a haze of reverence and superstition. And in the subsequent chapters I have sought, by interpreting what the Evangelists have written, to justify the Church's faith in Him as the Lord from Heaven. It might be well for such as lack taste or aptitude for technical discussion to pass over the Introduction.

My thanks are due to the Rev. W. Robertson Nicoll, LL.D., who invited me to undertake the task and has guided me in its execution; to the Rev. Professor Marcus Dods, D.D., New College, Edinburgh, the Rev. Professor James Stalker, D.D., United Free Church College, Aberdeen, the Rev. George Reith, D.D., College Church, Glasgow, the Rev. H. A. A. Kennedy, D.Sc., Callander, and the Rev. S. G. MacLennan, M.A., Sherbrooke United Free Church, Glasgow, who read my MSS. and gave me profitable criticism; to J. D. C. S. and C. A. S.who have aided me much, especially in preparing the Indexes; and to the Rev. James Angus, Stirling, for his counsel and sympathy.
