Overview

Description: What is Jesus like? What kind of a person is he? Is he emotional or stoic? Is he proud or humble? Is he aloof or friendly? This book attempts to answer these types of questions. After demonstrating that Jesus is the promised Christ and that he is both divine and human, this book examines Jesus' personal characteristics as they are displayed in the four Gospels. The four Gospels are clearly not a typical biography of Jesus. Nonetheless, they do provide an informative account of his life here on earth, from which we can discover what he is like as a person. Endorsements: ""A beautiful portrait of Jesus designed to help us love him and appreciate the complexity of his person in fresh ways. A wonderful book."" --Derek W. H. Thomas, Professor of Historical and Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary ""Patrick Ramsey elicits from the Gospels, with the skill of an artist, a truly realistic portrait of Jesus Christ. He does this in the background of the Old Testament's clear sketches . . . of the Messiah who would come. And he faithfully depicts who this promised Messiah is (both God and man in one person), and with carefully drawn snapshots presents his character as the one who came to do God's will as the promised Savior. A portrait really worth seeing."" --George W. Knight III, Adjunct Professor of New Testament, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary About the Contributor(s): D. Patrick Ramsey is an ordained minister in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. He is co-author of An Analysis of Herman Witsius's ""The Economy of the Covenants.""
