The Life of Jesus: Matthew through John

by Henrietta C. Mears, Bayard Taylor

With Dr. Mears as teacher and mentor, readers will study the four accounts of Jesus Christ’s life and the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They will gain a big-picture understanding of key events—Jesus’ miraculous birth, His ministry, His teachings, and His crucifixion and resurrection—yet also see how each Gospel evangelist chose to emphasize particular themes for his reading audience. Twelve sessions of study give readers an opportunity to examine Jesus’ life in depth, whether on their own or with a group, and discussion/reflection questions invite groups or individuals to go even deeper.

[Matt · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is not a very deep study. In fact, you don't really need a Bible to do it. Almost all of the discussion questions are drawn from the author's message, not from the Bible. It stays on the surface level of most parables. There's a couple incorrect verse references throughout the text and some of the discussion questions are so vague, I don't know what the question is.
