Garry Wills - What the Gospels Meant
The Author's Forum of University College in collaboration with the Deparment of Catholic Studies present the New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner, Garry Wills, who, in his latest book, interprets the Gospels. With his remarkable gift for biblical analysis he brilliantly examines goals, methods, and styles of the evangelists and how these shaped the gospels' messages. What the Gospels Meant will prove to be a valuable source of wisdom and inspiration for all.
Garry Wills studied for the priesthood, took his doctorate in the classics, and taught ancient and new Testament Greek for many years at Johns Hopkins University. He is now professor of history emeritus at Northwestern University.
