What Jesus Saw from the Cross just isn't hitting me right this Lent so I am switching to a favorite book that I had forgotten about until The Curt Jester mentioned it, To Know Christ Jesus by Frank Sheed.
Sheed looks at Jesus' life by weaving together all four Gospels. He also takes into consideration the times in which Jesus lived, how the people then would have interpreted Christ's teachings and witness, links to the Old Testament, teachings of the Chruch Fathers, archaeology, and more. The goal of all this is to give us a richer, deeper understanding of Jesus since to know the Father you must know the Son ... and there is nowhere better to meet him than through the Gospels.
