In the spirit of Ludolph of Saxony (c. 1295-1378) and Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556),

The Fourfold Gospel invites the reader into the mystery of God's redemption in Jesus Christ. All the parallel passages in the Gospels are glossed together, along with the unique material, using a medieval interpretive approach called the Quadriga or the acronym PaRDeS in Hebrew.

Meditating on the literal, canonical, moral, and theological senses of Scripture

offers a scaffolding for the spiritual formation of the reader. This volume focuses on the summoning and purgative stage of discipleship--the Sermon on the Mount--as well as participating in Christ's healing of creation.
