The Jesus Story weaves the accounts of the four Gospels into one
easy to read narrative in today's language. This approach offers a
fresh view the story of Jesus' life to those familiar with the
Gospel accounts and a fascinating introduction for persons not
acquainted with the biblical narratives. Dr. Ivan Leaman, retired
medical missionary and S.S. Bible teacher says, "The Jesus Story is
a unique way to read about Jesus. John Miller has taken the stories
and teachings of Jesus in the four Gospels and woven them into one
continuous story. With his knowledge of Greek he has been able to
give to us the Jesus story using fresh and modern English words.
Pick up this book and as you read, let this story of Jesus and his
words strike you in new and powerful ways." New Testament scholar
Dr. George R. Brunk III adds, "While respecting the diversity of
our four Gospels, we can also acknowledge the legitimacy and value
of creating a unified version of the Jesus story. This is what the
present publication offers. Its value lies in several directions:
1. There is the simple, practical value of giving easy access to
all the stories of Jesus' earthy life in one continuous and more or
less chronological form. 2. By seeing the whole of what we know
about Jesus, the reader is able to sense more readily that a deep
harmony and coherence exists in and behind the several versions of
the story. A fresh kind of spiritual inspiration can result. 3.
There is also a more subtle value in the particular kind of harmony
represented here. The actual wording of the original Gospels is
preserved. The alert reader will, therefore, sense the differences
in style, vocabulary, and point of view from account to account,
reflecting the different authors. Thus the thoughtful reader is
encouraged to take seriously both the similarity and the
differences in the way Jesus was remembered by his first followers.
It is with the hope of just such fruitful outcomes t that I commend
John Miller's labor of love to the reader."
