Epigraph
For as there are four quarters of the world in which we live, and four universal winds, and as the church is dispersed over all the earth, and the gospel is the pillar and base of the church and the breath of life, so it is natural that it should have four pillars, breathing immortality from every quarter and kindling the life of men anew. Whence it is manifest that the Word, the architect of all things, who sits upon the cherubim and holds all things together, having been manifested to men, has given in fourfold form, but held together by one Spirit.

-- Iranaeus
Dedication
First words
[Preface] This textbook is designed for students taking classes in the Gospels or on the life of Christ and for pastors who wish to study the life and teaching of Jesus.
[Introduction] There is no doubt that Jesus of Nazareth is one of the most important historical and religious figures of all time.
The Scripture does not give us one story of Jesus, but four Gospels.
