Four sportswriters might profile the Mariners' inscrutable right fielder, Ichiro Suzuki, from different angles -- his quirky batting style, lightning speed, flame-thrower arm, or stratospheric success at bat with the sacks juiced. Four looks, same Ichiro.
The Bible's four gospel authors cover Jesus differently. Matthew does Christ as King. Mark, Christ as Servant. Luke, Christ the Son of Man (God in human flesh). John, Christ as the Son of God (the God-Man, fully human yet fully divine). Four lenses, same Jesus.
