""In his new book, The Writing of the Christian Gospels, Rick Herrick takes us behind the scenes in the creation of the gospel stories. This well-researched book opens our eyes to the cultural, historical, and religious context out of which the four evangelists tell their story. Indeed, the writing of the gospels is a challenging process. As this book tells us, it's a process which enlightens and deepens our faith journey."" --Jeffrey Frantz, author of Rediscovering the Authentic Paul
