Biographical Attention
No other person is given more
biographical attention then Jesus Christ,
who’s life portrayed in the four Gospels with
supplementary theological revelation in other
books of the Bible. The four portraits
afforded in the four Gospels give depth and
perspective to the incomparable One who
lived among men.
