In the third volume of Historical Phases of Prophetic Teaching, the author, Evelyn Theresa Watson, introduces an innovative way to research the life and time of Jesus Christ. She presents his gospel message in chapter verse subdivisions with descriptive headings that denote a statutory code of ethics in a systematic or set discourse of preceptive prophecy. Each chapter title specifies the parabolic message found within the text of THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. MATTHEW. For example: Chapter 8 Mortal Deformity Healed, Chapter 9 Mortal Defamation Healed, Chapter 10 Mortal Deficiency Healed. The author has endeavored to present the manner of Jesus' teaching and preaching in a way that enables the reader to follow his example in overcoming the world's belief in the temptations of physicality, immorality, and materiality. Her mission is to prove the infallibility of the mortal word within the immortal Word of God as exemplified in Jesus' spiritual understanding of the Christ.
