The Fourfold Gospel Volume 1: A Formational Commentary on Matthew Mark Luke and John: from the Beginning to the Baptist

In the spirit of Ludolph of Saxony (c. 1295-1378) and Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556) The Fourfold Gospel invites the reader into the mystery of Gods redemption in Jesus Christ. All the parallel passages in the Gospels are glossed together along with the unique material using a medieval interpretive approach called the Quadriga or the acronym PaRDeS in Hebrew. Meditating on the literal canonical moral and theological senses of Scripture offers a scaffolding for the spiritual formation of the reader. This volume in addition to a thorough introduction to the method and the Gospels focuses on the beginning of the story--the birth baptism and temptations of Christ.
