The introductions to each of the four Gospel writings help the reader grasp the setting and comprehend the purpose of each of the Gospel writers in their portrayal of the Messiah. This is followed by a summary of the events covered in each of the books. These summary statements are used as headers within the narrative that follows and are helpful in visualizing the content of the passage. A unique feature of the translation is the use of the present tense. This approach allows the reader the sense of "hearing" the words of the apostles as they share their stories of traveling with Yeshua during the three years of his ministry.
