Four Portraits, One Jesus is a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the four biblical Gospels and their subject, the life and person of Jesus. The Gospels, like different artists rendering the same subject using different styles and points of view, paint four highly distinctive portraits of the same remarkable Jesus. Mark Strauss illuminates these four books, addressing the following important areas:

First, he addresses the nature, origin, methods for study, and historical, religious, and cultural backgrounds of the Gospels. He then moves on to a closer study of each narrative and its contribution to our understanding of Jesus, investigating things such as plot, characters, and theme. Finally, he pulls it all together with a detailed examination of what the Gospels teach about Jesus' ministry, message, death, and resurrection, with excursions into the quest for the historical Jesus and the historical reliability of the Gospels.
