The Four Gospels: A Guide to Their Historical Background, Characteristic Differences, and Timeless Significance

The four gospels have been read and studied for nearly 2,000 years. As early as the second century Irenaeus, Church father and martyr, declared that four accounts of the life of Christ were needed—no more and no less! Yet many Christians, in spite of the numerous and excellent commentaries available today, cannot answer the question, "Why four Gospels?"

This in-depth volume, which took 20 years to research and 10 years to write, clearly reveals the necessity of a four-fold portrait of Christ. Selected excerpts from some of the most celebrated writers of the past, such as A. Edersheim, Chas. Erdman, F. W. Farrar, Edw. Gibbon, F. L. Godet, D. S. Gregory, F. W. Krummacher, H. H. Milman, G. Campbell Morgan, Arthur Pink, Sir Wm. Ramsay, Chas. Rollin, R. C. Trench, B. F. Wescott, and scores of others, are incorporated throughout the book in order to explain and substantiate the historical background and characteristic differences of the four gospels. This work is an excellent reference for teachers, students, and historians, but is designed for Christians in all walks of life. A homeschooling mother stated that the “work is quite readable (even by a pressured mom) and very worthwhile. I especially like the organization of the book, which helped me keep my bearings. The history is fascinating and helpful.”

William S. Stob grew up in Cicero, Illinois, and received his early education in private schools associated with the Christian Reformed Church. Later, he studied at Calvin College (A.A.), Elmhurst College (B.A.), and Concordia University Chicago (M.A.). Before moving to Michigan, Bill was a public school teacher, an officer in The Gideons, and a regular speaker at skid-row missions in Chicago. He has taught Sunday school classes in Bible and Baptist churches for over 25 years and, as an avid historian and book collector, has an extensive library with original editions dating back to 1623. Bill and his wife, Becky, were married in 1969 and have two grown daughters, Jennifer and Rachel, who were homeschooled through twelfth grade. Both graduated with honors from Bob Jones University.

Thinking Rightly of Christ: What Scripture Really Says About Him—And Why It Matters

Is it really that important what we think of Jesus Christ and the nature of his work? Does the content of our understanding of him have any practical significance?

Against a growing tendency in the church to downplay the value of serious theological reflection, Bryan Holstrom asserts that thinking rightly of Christ is not only an eminently practical pursuit, but one that no thoughtful Christian can afford to neglect. With the goal of increasing our appreciation for the significance of Christ and the work that he undertook, Holstrom addresses some of the most misunderstood and challenging teachings found in Scripture:

How can Jesus be God’s Son and yet be God himself?
What is the significance of the Bible’s teaching that he was born of a virgin?
How could he have been tempted and yet remain sinless?
What does it mean to say that he was perfected by his earthly life?
Is he still the King of the Jews?
Why is he called the Savior of the World if not all people are saved?
What is it about Jesus Christ that makes him uniquely qualified to be the one Mediator between God and men?
Does it really matter whether we affirm that salvation is available only through him and the work that he did?

This book helps Christians overcome many of the modern misconceptions that plague our understanding of Christ’s person and work. The result is not just right thinking, but increased devotion to the One who asked “What do you think about the Christ?”

Bryan Holstrom is a Ruling Elder at Covenant of Grace Orthodox Presbyterian Church in Batavia, Illinois. He is also the author of another Ambassador title, Infant Baptism and the Silence of the New Testament.

Why the Gospel Witnesses Agree And What This Means for Us

Atheists claim the gospels contradict each other. They say Jesus was mistaken about when he would return, so he can't be God. The atheists are wrong.

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John present eyewitness testimony to the earthly life of Jesus Christ, but there seem to be significant differences between them. Through the centuries these conflicts have caused many people to doubt their accuracy. Charles Darwin himself was led further into atheism by the “discrepancies” the gospels contain. Doubts about the gospels and other issues brought the author to his own faith crisis. But there are answers to the question of the accuracy and reliability of the gospels, and in fact the entire Bible. Why the Gospel Witnesses Agree and What This Means for Us combines the gospels at the three most crucial points in the earthly life of Jesus Christ, demonstrating that the differences are not errors. Rather they are the normal result of the various viewpoints of the eyewitnesses, which disappear when the accounts are put together in a logical order.
