The Life and Teachings of Jesus

A Restatement of the Gospels

De: Preston Thomas

Narrado por: Preston Thomas

This audiobook is a restatement of the life and teachings of Jesus as recorded in the New Testament Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Like an earlier effort by Thomas Jefferson, who produced The Jefferson Bible in the early 1800s, its purpose is to distill from the scriptures only those verses truly portraying the life and teachings of Jesus.

Each major event of his life is treated individually, and then arranged in chronological order. Thus, it presents the story of Jesus as it actually took place, from birth through death and resurrection. This format promotes a better understanding of Jesus’ real life and his original gospel of the kingdom.

Great book about Jesus

Great way to learn about Jesus' life and teachings without any extraneous material getting in the way.

Expected more commentary

I appreciated being reminded of Jesus teachings but more commentary as to their meaning would have been appreciated as well as to specific location within the New Testament where they are found.

Words of the Master

I'm so glad this book is now available on Audible.com. It's a wonderful companion while driving, on a walk, or even while gardening. It's a remarkable book, not only for what it contains, but more importantly, for what it doesn't contain. Similar to the Jefferson Bible, the author has taken only from the essential gospels and eliminated anything that doesn't relate directly to the life and teachings of Jesus. As a result, the book allows us to experience Jesus as a man and a spiritual teacher, more than any book currently available. For anyone who wants to hear the distilled teachings of the Master, I can recommend this book without hesitation.
