What are the distinctive features of Matt
|
Purpose: To prove that Jesus is the Messiah, the eternal king, and teach obedience to Jesus’ commands. More than any other Gospel it stresses Jesus’ relation to the OT.
More Jewish than the others (unexplained Jewish customs) • Quotations of OT • OT prophesy fulfilled • Theological discussions framed in rabbinical debate |
|
|
What are the distintive features of Mark?
|
Purpose: To present the person, work and teaching of Jesus- the good news. Shortest of the gospels, tells more about the actions than the teachings of Jesus. Direct and fast moving style carries us to the cross.
• More action/ less talk • Abrupt ending • More evangelistic • Learned message probably from Peter |
|
|
What are the distinctive features of Luke
|
Purpose: To present an accurate account of the life of Christ and to present Christ as the perfect man and savior- Assurance of truth about Jesus (1:1-4). This is the longest and most literary of the Gospels. Presents Jesus’ ancestry, birth, and early life before moving carefully through his ministry, death and resurrection, Luke is also the most comprehensive of the Gospels.
• Interest in history • Emphases: prayer, wealth, women, Spirit • Written for disciples • Focus on ministry to general outcasts • Learned message probably from Paul |
|
|
What are the distinctive features of John
|
Jesus is Son of God and those who believe in him have eternal life.
There is a focus on the mystery of X and the incarnation, his relationship with the Father. Simplicity of construction generally makes it the first portion of Scripture to be translated into another language. Seven I am sayings, Jew & Gentile appeal, lots of teaching, not a lot of details. |
