The Words and Works of
Jesus Christ
by J. Dwight PentecostThe life of Jesus Christ
takes on fresh clarity and meaning in this masterful work by Dwight
Pentecost. The words, the miracles, and overarching message of the
Messiah come alive in flowing and detailed chronology, set against the
cultural, political, and religious setting of his day. You'll gain
new understanding of why Jesus came, how he operated, and what he
accomplished. Above all, you'll acquire a deeper appreciation for
the love that guided his path, beginning in a manger in Bethlehem,
leading through three and a half years of ministry that ended abruptly
at the cross on Golgotha, and blazing forth in eternal triumph at the
resurrection. Drawing liberally on the works of others who have
written about Christ, such as Alfred Edersheim, J. W. Shepherd, W.
Graham Scroggie, and Frederick Faraar, Dr. Pentecost reveals in his own
writing a familiarity with the subject that comes from years of
teaching. Yet he writes, not as one who knows all there is to know
about Christ, but with the restraint of one who knows that Jesus is to
be worshiped and adored as the great King, and that no book can do more
than begin to tell all the wonders of his being and his love.
