Alba House publishes John Fink’s book titled Jesus in the Gospels

Alba House has published the latest book by John F. Fink, editor emeritus of The Criterion.

Titled Jesus in the Gospels: Getting to Know Jesus as Presented by the Evangelists, the book is a compilation of Fink’s columns that were published in The Criterion from Jan. 14, 2004, through April 21, 2006.

To explain the purpose of the book and the original columns, Fink wrote, “Many books have appeared recently studying ‘the historical Jesus’ as a way, apparently, to figure out what Jesus was really like. Many of these are attempts to debunk what Christians believe about Jesus or to deny his divinity. This book returns to the Jesus in the Gospels. That’s the Jesus we believe in.”

It is Fink’s 10th book and the sixth published by Alba House.

His other books are Married Saints, a two-volume work on The Doctors of the Church, American Saints and Letters to St. Francis de Sales: Mostly on Prayer.

The Criterion Press published Moments in Catholic History, which is now out of print, and Traveling With Jesus in the Holy Land. Our Sunday Visitor Press published Patriotic Leaders of the Church.

Fink also edited, and contributed to, a book titled The Mission and Future of the Catholic Press, published by the Catholic Press Association.
