Despite our era of communication and information overload, biblical illiteracy is widespread. In Portraits of Jesus, Gerald L. Borchert assists both ministers and laypeople with a return to what the New Testament writers say about this stunning Jesus who shocked the world and called a small company of believers into an electrifying transformation.
Gerald L. Borchert, senior professor at Carson-Newman University, was formerly a Canadian lawyer. After earning a Ph.D. from Princeton, he did post-doctoral work in Jerusalem, Cambridge, Hamburg, Duke, Boston, and San Francisco. He has been dean of two American theological seminaries and has taught in many schools in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. A translator for the New Living Translation, he has written more than 150 articles and more than twenty books. He is a member of Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas, has led more than fifty tours to the Holy Land, and written two study books on that subject.
Just as the disciples’ eyes were opened to see the resurrected Jesus . . . so will those who read this book encounter Jesus in all the challenging richness the biblical writers intended.

If we want to be Christlike, we must know what Christ is like.
