What Others Say About The Four Witnesses

"novel approach"

The great mystery of the four Gospels and the one Jesus is given a clarifying explication and demonstration in this novel approach. It may well recapture for a new millennium the excitement about Jesus which characterized the first millennium of Christian faith.

--The Rev. Professor Peter J. Gomes, Harvard University

"scholarship is impeccable"

The Four Witnesses offers a judicious, skilled and closely integrated analysis of the Christian gospels. The literary coloration of each gospel is dealt with in the light of the community and culture out of which it rose. The scholarship is impeccable, the style light of heart and hand. And the entire work is suffused in faith -- the faith of those ministered to by the author, and (dare one venture it), the faith of the author himself. We are the richer for the holy hyphenation.

--The Rev. Daniel Berrigan, S.J.

"accessible, learned, and unfailingly interesting"

In this lucid and engrossing book, Robin Griffith-Jones integrates the story of Jesus with the story of four very different first-century communities that would be fundamentally transformed by his life and teaching. Accessible, learned and unfailingly interesting, The Four Witnesses is a wonderful introduction to the gospels and their setting.

-- Ron Hansen, author of Mariette in Ecstasy, Atticus, and Hitler's Niece

"wonderfully charismatic teacher and a great writer"

I was impressed with Griffith-Jones as a wonderfully charismatic teacher and a great writer who will likely be embraced by American readers as readily as his fellow British colleagues and best-selling authors Karen Armstrong and A.N. Wilson.

--John Loudon, HarperSanFrancisco executive editor
