Gospel harmonies are out of fashion today, but this is no ordinary gospel harmony. For DelHousaye enriches the reader with commentary and reflections on every dimension of gospel study. The task is monumental, but DelHousaye proves to be a competent guide. --Tom Schreiner, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville In his multivolume work, John offers the church something it has not seen in several centuries, if ever, and yet has made it accessible to a modern audience: a gospel harmony with commentary on each unit that interprets the text according to the quadriga, or four senses of Scripture. Gospel scholars will be interested in his literal interpretation, systematicians in his allegorical, ethicists and homileticians in his tropological, and mystics in his anagogical. Better yet, the quadriga is designed to exercise the entirety of a person's soul, and so each reader will find him- or herself comprehensively engaged in the interpretation of Scripture. --Andrew Messmer, Seville Theological Seminary I have never read such an in-depth, multifaceted, and engaging study of the Gospels and their message. DelHousaye worked on this steadily for twelve years. I can believe it. The book draws on or provides resources from at least twelve domains: translation, exposition, Hellenistic and Jewish backgrounds, patristic sources and discussion, hermeneutics and theology, Greek lexical and grammatical insights, personal testimony and pastoral counsel, scholarly exegetical discussion, text-critical observations, life of Jesus and Synoptic Problem debates, thematic analysis, and missiological and global church insights. DelHousaye promises that by reading this book, 'you will have read (and hopefully pondered) every jot and tittle of the Gospels.' . . . Looking for a thin, predictable rehearsal of Gospel scholarship and lore? Look elsewhere. Do you wish to approach Gospel truths and mysteries with equipping appropriate to their gritty yet godly substance? Enlist in the training regimen afforded by this unusual, nimble, and engrossing resource guide. --Robert W. Yarbrough, Covenant Theological Seminary, St. Louis
