A Portrait of Christ: A Look at Who Jesus Is and What He Is Like from the Gospels
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
What is Jesus like? What kind of a person is he? Is he emotional or stoic? Is he proud or humble? Is he aloof or friendly? After demonstrating that Jesus is the promised Christ and that he is both divine and human, D. Patrick Ramsey examines Jesus’ personal characteristics as they are displayed in the four Gospels. The four Gospels are clearly not a typical biography of Jesus. Nonetheless, they do provide an informative account of his life here on earth, from which we can discover what he is like as a person.

Patrick Ramsey elicits from the Gospels, with the skill of an artist, a truly realistic portrait of Jesus Christ. He does this in the background of the Old Testament’s clear sketches . . . of the Messiah who would come. And he faithfully depicts who this promised Messiah is (both God and man in one person), and with carefully drawn snapshots presents his character as the one who came to do God’s will as the promised Savior. A portrait really worth seeing.
