This is Leo Tolstoy's integration of the four biblical gospels into a single account of the life of Jesus. The Gospel in Brief is an intriguing fusion of biblical texts and Tolstoy's own religious views. Tolstoy explains that his goal is a “solution to the problem of life," not a theological or historical statement. He therefore ignores issues like Jesus' genealogy and divinity, focusing instead on the words and teachings of Jesus, stripped of what he regarded as the Church's distortions and focus on dogma and ritual.

Did you know that every author of the NT was a Jew (with the exception of Luke, but he was a disciple of Paul). Furthermore, the New Testament had not been compiled when letters were circulated that later became the New Testament, so the only Holy Writings available to the New Testament Jewish authors were what Christians call the Old Testament. Therefore, does it surprise you that the New Testament is steeped in Hebraic thought and contains nearly a thousand quotations and allusions from the Hebrew Scriptures?

Bridging the end of the Old Testament period and the beginning of the New Testament period, this book surveys the history and theological developments of four significant eras in Israel's post-exilic history: the Late Persian Era (465-331 BC), the Hellenistic Era (332-167 BC), the Hasmonean Era (167-63 BC), and the Roman Era (63-4 BC). In doing so, it does away with the notion that there were four hundred years of prophetic silence before Jesus.
