Gospel of Luke

The Gospel of Mark has a particular style of setting the scene of Jesus death. We are going to examine how Mark puts a dramatic emphasis in the death of Jesus Christ. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the climax of Mark’s dramatic narration. In addition, Mark tells the story in such an ambiguous way for the purpose of the reader to make their own inferences. In the gospel of mark, the narration mentions that there were bystanders provoking Jesus to drink the sour wine while mocking…

Perhaps, one observation of the predicaments of the four Gospels will suggest that the author of Matthew composed his Gospel by copying and editing the sources of Mark, Q and M. Nevertheless, by examining his literature, one may find several selections of his arrangements filled perhaps, with his own interpretation and understandings of the actual Kerugma, fundamentals and traditions in which he worked on. On of which is the way Matthew makes his own characteristics of the theology relating to…

story. The gospels of Mark and Matthew are recognized as synoptic gospels, being that they contain majority of the same stories about Jesus’ birth, walk, and crucifixion. Even though the Bible doesnt mention which chapter was written first, the Gospel of Mark comes before Matthew, giving us great reason to believe that Mark was the first of many other synoptic gospels written. Reading the two chapters, a person would definitely be able to recognize that the author of Matthew took the gospel of…

John was indeed the author of the gospel. However, modern day scholars do not believe that John wrote any part of the gospel. In order to truly understand the authorship and date of John three questions need to be asked: who wrote it, why it was written and when was it written. These questions promote expedition from the reader and once the reader answers these questions the reader con have a better interpretation of John. In the past the author of the gospel of John was credited to John.…

have raised numerous questions and have been the subject of debate among believers and non-believers for centuries. The Gospels of the New Testament, written in first and second centuries, are the primary source for understanding the events surrounding the resurrection of Christ. It is the limited availability of other resources that has resulted in the scrutiny of the Gospels in search of documentation that will definitively settle the debate of whether the resurrection actually occurred as…

Scot Mcknight speaks about how Western evangelicals have lost touch with the gospel. He says we’ve reduced the gospel to making a decision for Christ. Mcknight argues that it’s been reduced to a 4 point presentation that’s a surefire way to salvation. Telling people that “God loves them and has a wonderful plan for their life” is one of the most dangerous things you can tell someone. When you assure someone that they’re in God’s love when in reality they are an enemy of God and stand under his…

us and within our circumstances • The Kingdom of God was the core of Jesus ' gospel message and is to be the main focus and emphasis in the lives of Jesus ' followers • Mark explains in his Gospel account, “Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand.

significant the book of Acts is when talking about the Apostle Paul. Ehrman briefly talk about Paul’s Life, and how the events in his life played a major factor in Christianity. According Ehrman there are some differences and similarities on how Luke wrote the book of Acts. Ehrman does point about these similarities and differences for the reader. Ehrman utilizes much of the vocabulary or key terms in this chapter. The first terms which stand out to me are “pseudepigrapha” and “Pastoral…

(11:19-21). We come now to a major turning point in the book of Acts. In Acts 1:8 Jesus commissioned His disciples to be His witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in all Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth. We have seen how the gospel spread throughout Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria and now to the Gentile world. As we look at the inception of the Antioch church I want us to observe three sub points in this first heading. I. The blessings of persecution (19). Chapter…

reveal the missions and their methods and purposes of Christianity in the early church? As we look at the mission of Peter that led to his martyrdom, one quickly see the Holy Spirit empowering him as revealed in Acts 2:1-4. Peter was preaching the gospel with confidence, conviction and compassion. As he carried the word of God, he drew crowds of thousands of new believers to Christianity, he was healing the blind, standing up to leaders of the opposition. As he carried out his mission Peter…
