A good resource for teachers

By hiw own admission, O'Malley wrote this book for adults who are studying the Synoptic Gospels on their own. He does a good job of explaining how to read the Gospels critically, and how to make comparisons among the Gospels. He also explains the history and composition of these three books.Nearly the second half of the book is devoted to the study of the Passion accounts. Here, O'Mally gives a careful explanation of the similarites and differences of the accounts.While the wordyness of this book prevents it from being a primary text for high school students, it should serve as a excellent resource for teachers.
