Summary "The Real Jesus of the Four Gospels" by J. B. Atwater is a religious analysis written in the early 20th century. The book aims to collate and present the Gospels concerning the life and teachings of Jesus, stripping away personal biases and sectarian interpretations to offer a factual account of His existence and mission. It delves into the discrepancies between the Gospel narratives and asserts that the essence of Jesus’s teachings centers more on human experience and ethics than on supernatural claims. At the start of the work, Atwater outlines his intentions, dedicating it to those who have suffered under distorted religious practices. He introduces the first part of the book, which aims to harmonize the accounts of Jesus's life as recorded in the four Gospels, starting with aspects like His genealogy and conception, and leading into key events during His life, as seen through different Gospel lenses. The author points out that each Gospel presents nuances that serve to illustrate Jesus's role more as a human teacher than a divine figure. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
