Discovering Jesus in the New Testament

Every Christian knows about Jesus - but everybody may not be familiar with how he is presented in each book of the New Testament. The biblical writings were sent to different groups of believers (and unbelievers) who faced an assortment of problems. To each group the Savior is presented as central to their spiritual journeys, by teaching, mentoring, directing, motivating, and transforming individuals in whatever circumstances they find themselves. Warrington asks, and answers, the fundamental question, "In each of these circumstances, what does the text say about Jesus?" Examining the person and role of Christ as seen through the eyes of each New Testament author from the Gospels to Revelation, Warrington explores the text within the framework of the original readers relates Jesus to his audience, and reflects on his dynamic and strategic influence in their lives and their growth as believers. Given the substantial New Testament evidence, contemporary Christians will be encouraged to embrace the magnitude of Jesus' involvement in their lives.
