title: Studies in the Four Gospels: An Exposition of the Gospels According to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in One Volume
author: G. Campbell Morgan
description: These studies in the four gospels are among the best known works of the "Prince of Expositors." The study of Matthew's Gospel proceeds on the assumption that it was the intention of the writer to set forth the Person of our Lord in relation to His kingly office. It is rich in interpretation, suggestion and application. There is a freshness and vigor about the Gospel of Mark that grips and binds. In reading it, we are immediately able to move with Jesus through the wonderful crowded years of His public ministry. Luke emphasizes the divinely perfect humanity of the Son of God. Here Jesus is seen going about doing good. He is presented as the wisest of teachers and best of men. John is the capstone of the Gospel edifice. The most precious thing in the world is life, and life is the subject of this Gospel  abundant life, eternal life. As an expository work that will appeal to the ordinary layman, this book is without peer. Dr. Morgan has the happy faculty, amounting almost to genius, of making Biblical exposition fascinating for the man in the street.

  The four gospels are a central part of the Christian canon of scripture. This
  volume treats the gospels not just as historical sources, but also as crucial
  testimony to the life of God made known in Jesus Christ. This approach helps
  to overcome the sometimes damaging split between critical gospel study and
  questions of theology, ethics and the life of faith. The essays are by
  acknowledged experts in a range of theological disciplines. The first section
  considers what are appropriate ways of reading the gospels given the kinds of
  texts they are. The second, central section covers the contents of the
  gospels. The third section looks at the impact of the gospels in church and
  society across history and up to the present day.
