The life of Christ, his teaching and work, will be studied in light of the unique perspective of each of the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

PROFESSOR’S ADDITIONAL COMMENT
The New Testament Cannon opens with four historical narratives (the Gospels). God first establishes the factual evidence of Christ’s career and the church’s origins. Upon this is built the whole structure of Christian doctrine and life as revealed in Scripture. The Gospels are more than narratives. They are filled with key doctrines, sure commands, warm exhortations, and promises. The Gospels focus on Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Therefore, let us approach our study in the “Life of Christ” humbly and prayerfully.
