Description
Life of Christ bridges the gap between commentaries and devotional accounts of Christ's ministry. Applying the requisite analytical tools, it addresses the question, is His life worth studying? The Resurrection event would confirm it is, as would the Gospel miracle accounts-neither of which, Geis argues, skeptical response disproves. Salvation history necessitates the reality of Mary's virginity, which the author develops lexically and theologically. Jesus' teachings and parables bring out a Christ Whose moral precepts are rooted in His Divinity and not in western philosophic nostrums. Geis' discussion of Christ on marriage and His commandment of love sharpens this observation with lexical application. He also addresses the inconsistent objectives and circular reasoning of various exegetical schools, which have no place in a study of the Gospels.
