Garry Wills’s recent New York Times bestselling books What
Jesus Meant and What Paul Meant were tour-de-force
interpretations of the teachings of Jesus and the Apostle
Paul. Now Wills turns his remarkable gift for biblical
analysis to the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and
John. Wills brilliantly examines the goals, methods, and
styles of the evangelists and how these shaped the gospels’
messages. The earliest book, Mark, emphasizes Jesus the
sufferer; in Matthew, Jesus the teacher; in Luke, Jesus the
reconciler; and in John, Jesus the mystic. Hailed as “one of
the most intellectually interesting and doctrinally
heterodox Christians writing today” (The New York Times Book
Review), Wills guides readers through the maze of meanings
that have accrued around these foundational texts, revealing
their essential Christian truths. What the Gospels Meant
will prove to be a valuable source of wisdom and inspiration
for all.
