Jesus Becoming Jesus, Vol. 1: A Theological Interpretation of the Synoptic Gospels is unavailable, but you can change that!

Jesus Becoming Jesus presents a theological interpretation of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke.

Matthew is more interested in making known those who first recognized the significance of Jesus’ birth. This is of soteriological significance that directly bears upon Jesus’ divine identity as the Messiah-King. “Behold, wise men form the East came to Jerusalem, saying, ‘Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and have come to worship him.’ ”10 Matthew
