Jesus Theography

Thomas à Kempis once wrote, “Let our chief endeavor be to meditate on the life of Jesus Christ.”

I try to do this as much as I am able, but one thing that helps is to not only read the Gospels, but also to read books about Jesus by other Christian writers and speakers. Their perspective helps me view Jesus in a different way, and think about Him even more.

For this reason, I was thrilled to recently hear that Frank Viola and Leonard Sweet are coming out with a new book on Jesus. It is called Jesus, A Theography.

I am guessing from the title, and from reading Frank Viola’s blog, that this book is going to be a cross between a book on Christology, a biography of Jesus, and a biblical survey.

Here is something Frank Viola wrote about this book in his most recent email newsletter:

The book uniquely tells the story of Jesus from Genesis to Revelation, connecting all the dots together, showing that the Bible is a beautiful narrative about Christ. The latest (and most fascinating) research about Jesus during His lifetime is also included.

There is a lot more about this book on his website, where you can download a free sample chapter, and preorder the book for only $10 (if you order by Sunday, August 19).
