Verse by Verse, The New Testament Vol. 1: The Four Gospels

What do the Gospels tell us about the life and teachings of Jesus that is pertinent to us today? How can the testimonies of the early Church leaders strengthen our own testimonies of the living Christ?

Although much has been written about the testimonies of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John and their accounts of the Savior's ministry, Verse by Verse: the Four Gospels is the most comprehensive, useful, and easily read volume prepared on the New Testament gospels in recent decades. A thorough doctrinal commentary, it addresses many gospel issues and answers questions of every kind. This valuable resource is supplemented with photos, paintings, drawings, charts, maps, and other study helps to encourage us to come unto Christ by learning of him through the words of those who walked and talked with him and his Apostles.

Between them, authors D. Kelly Ogden and Andrew C. Skinner have spent more than two decades walking where Jesus walked and teaching where Jesus taught. They offer unique insights into the Gospels from their lifelong study of the culture, history, geography, archaeology, and languages of the New Testament era. In addition, they draw clear answers and helpful clarifications from latter-day revelation, particularly the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible. This volume is a treasure trove of understanding and motivational teachings.
