You may be wondering, “Do we really need another Gospel commentary? Why does the title associate the Gospel with mystery, and even more, a mystery revealed?”
Contrast Jesus with the Old Testament Father God, their image in your mind. Jesus – loving, patient, and forgiving. The Father God – something quite different, strict adherence to Law, genocidal nation building. Have you ever struggled with that? Most everyone has and, I dare say, most still do, though they may not openly admit it. Church scholarship has striven over the ages to find the solution. Why did God have to be so mysterious? This book will give you the Biblical answer.
Although a first-time published author, Kirk Howell has done quite a bit of writing in his life. Air Traffic Control (ATC), Kirk’s former career, has its own national “Bible” if you will, the “Point 65”. Locally written procedures, which each and every ATC facility creates, must comply with the “Point 65”. In addition to “working the boards”, as they say when controlling traffic, Kirk became a specialist in automation, plans and procedures, and training. These “callings”, if you will, led him to devote a great deal of time and energy to writing, creating, and teaching. In hindsight, all that experience served him well for this endeavor. Subconsciously, though years had passed, when God gave him the desire to “delve deep”, that “schooling” came to the forefront.
