This extraordinary book challenges the reader to look with new eyes on the teachings contained in the gospels. Mr. Nicoll begins by explaining the special nature of the language used in the gospels including interpreting certain images and the particular words used. But he also gives a general overview of the purpose of the gospel and how the parables and miracles relate to this purpose. Most importantly he orients the reader the underlying psychological nature of the gospels. It is one of those rare books that rewards multiple readings.
