The key to understanding the Gospels, says Father McKenzie, is to read
them carefully and inquisitively, then reread them, and reread them...
Perhaps never before has there been such a need for a mature Christian
faith, based solidly on the scriptures, that will stand against the
secularity of the times. And perhaps never before has the work of
scripture scholars been so helpful in giving the ordinary reader an
understanding of the scriptures that is pertinent to his or her life.
McKenzie, without being polemical or technical, provides a brief and
readable guide to the Gospels that will deepen and enrich Christian
faith.
