Reading the Four Gospels Theologically

By Brandon D. Crowe

... Show All

A Fourfold Framework for Studying the Gospels in Light of Historical Christian Theology 

Many people read and study the same Scripture and yet come to different conclusions about who Jesus is. The problem isn’t Scripture. It’s how we read it. Reading the Four Gospels Theologically guides readers away from the shortcomings of modern scholarship and toward a faithful, holistic method for understanding Christ. 

Author Brandon Crowe, a professor of New Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary, helps readers examine Christ in light of all 4 gospel accounts and the historical creeds and confessions that have long reflected the right way for the church to interpret Scripture. In doing so, New Testament students will learn what the church confesses about Jesus, how those truths guide interpretation of the gospels, and their important implications for the modern church.

  • Offers a Constructive Case for Reading the Four Gospels Theologically: Helps readers navigate the complexities of the church’s historic beliefs and modern scholarly approaches
  • Appeals to Students and Professors: Written primarily as a supplemental textbook for students in New Testament courses
  • Provides an Introductory Academic Approach: Great for those who want to affirm the church’s creedal traditions without prioritizing a source-critical approach
