"No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word." - Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
"...not much has changed since Jesus gathered dust in the soles of his sandals on Palestinian soil. He is still the buzz at barber shops and corner cafes. He is still talked about and against. He pricks our curiousity, sparks our imagination, and even earns our ire.
Who is he, really? You know he's no polotician, but he still transforms nations. He's no social activist, but he is the genesis of who knows how many hospitals, orphanages, and innumerable acts of kindness. A psychotherapist? Hardly. But how many of us 'Humpty Dumpties' has he put back together again?! This peasant carpenter has built himself a kingdom immeasurably greater than his early enemies could have imagined.
What are we to make of him? Please accept my deepest apologies right up front, for this book will not help answer the questions. However, it may help answer this one: What is this man to make me?"
- From Mark Moore's Introduction
The Chronological Life of Christ is the definitive resource where all four Gospels have been harmonized into one chronological story line. The reader gets an in-depth look at Jesus' life, ministry. death and resurrection - a look not attainable when reading each Gospel separately. Written using the Thomas & Gundry NIV Harmony of the Gospels as a frame, The Chronological Life of Christ includes a very helpful subject index and user-friendly table for quickly finding Bible passages. This is a must-have resource for every student and teacher of God's Word.
"The perfect surrender of humiliation were undergone by Christ: perfect because He was God, surrender and humiliation because He was man... In Christ a new kind of man appeared: and the new kind of life which began in Him is to be put into us."
-C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)
Mark began teaching ministry at Ozark Christian College in the fall of 1990. He teaches the Life of Christ, Acts, and Biblical Interpretation. His degrees include: Bachelor of Theology (OCC, 1986); MEd (Incarnate Word College, 1990); MA in Religious Studies (Southwest Missouri State University, 2000). Mark is currently working on a PhD from the University of Wales on the Politics of Jesus.
In the spring of 2007, Moore will become the director of the Institute for Christian Resources, an entity dedicated to making Jesus famous through Christian resources for churches in the U.S. and mission's organizations (particularly in Eastern Europe).
Moore has authored a number of books, mostly on the Life of Christ (also Acts and Revelation). He is an increasingly popular speaker noted for his passion for the lost and his participation in completing the great commission of Christ. As he speaks, open your ears and your spiritual eyes — the Holy Spirit is likely to show up.
Mark's life partner Barbara and his two above-average children (Joshua and Megan) are his primary audience and occupation.
