Items related to Living Voice of the Gospel
How do we reach into the Gospels today, and how do the Gospels reach back out to us? In the light of all that has been written over the ages, is there a fresh approach that speaks to the 21st century Christian? Francis J Moloney offers his experience and scholarship to lead the layperson through such a guide. The reader is brought up to date about how a Gospel is read as a theological narrative today, a markedly different understanding from the past. Each Gospel is reviewed as a whole, followed by a focused study of a particular section in which Moloney demonstrates how each Gospel author works the text to his own theological purposes. The final chapter outlines the general intellectual and academic history which forms the background to this position before Moloney makes his own case about the nature of Jesus, the Son of God and the Son of Man and the role of our discipleship today. This book is a thought-provoking yet readily accessible invitation to study the Gospels at an intermediate level. It is highly suitable for personal or group work.

Review:
Francis Molony is now the Provincial Superior of the Salesians in Australia. This is a completely revised and much changed edition of a book issued originally in 1986. His aim is to bring the benefits of the vast range of sober scholarly insights into the Gospels in their original language to a wider audience. This is a valuable book not only for those who might be taking scriptural courses, but for all readers concerned to understand the true origins of their faith in the birth of Jesus. --The Irish Catholic November 2006
