Discovering the Gospels: Four Accounts of the Good News answers many of our questions about the gospels. Author Margaret Nutting Ralph introduces us to the methodology and insights of biblical scholarship while involving us in thoughtful dialogue. Because it is written clearly in easily understood terms, this book is an invaluable aid for anyone asking mature questions about the gospels. It is especially suited for schools, Bible study programs, and faith sharing groups.

What really happened at Pentecost? Could the apostles really speak languages they didn't know before? Doesn't Paul have a warped view of marriage? Why would he teach that it is 'well for a man not to touch a woman?' Why are there only 144,000 redeemed from the earth? that doesn't seem like very many. These are just some of the many questions which thoughtful people ask and that Dr. Ralph helps the reader answer. 'Discovering The First Century Church In Scripture' tackles the many questions of scripture in a straightforward manner. This practical book provides readers with a thorough introduction to the content of the Acts of the Apostles, the letters of Paul, and the book of Revelation. It acquaints readers with the methodologies and conclusions of modern biblical scholarship, and challenges readers to integrate this knowledge into their own faith lives. It is an ideal text for juniors in high school, faith-sharing groups, adult education study, and introductory college courses.
