be found throughout many stories in the bible, especially in the gospels. Christian scholars view the gospel as the most important conversation between God and humans. In the gospel, we find the good news and the stories or sayings from Jesus’ life. The stories of Jesus’s dealings with the poor are numerous throughout the bible and the gospels.

We have studied many different topics, however the two topics that resonated with me were the “Gospel and the Sin Nature.” I was raised with Christian values and coming into this course, I felt I had a good grasp of what these topics meant, but I was mistaken. The topic I chose is about two men and the consequences they suffered as a result of their actions. “Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were…

through the four New Testament Gospels: Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. Each Gospel emphasizes on particular principles that represent Jesus differently. Jesus is seen as the suffering Messiah in all four Gospels, but each Evangelist puts in his own intake, hence expanding on the original Markan portrait of Jesus. The writers of the Gospels give their own theological assertions, and understandings, which in effect creates a new portrait of Jesus for each Gospel. The Gospel portraits vary and…

Many scholarly opinions have different opinions on when the Gospel was written. Ranging from the early sixties to the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, are the most common held views. “Since Luke contains 350 verses of Mark is must have been written after Mark” (Summers 10).

More than recognition that comes from God and therefore unquestionable, the gospel want to emphasize the "assumption of leadership by the leader." Jesus becomes aware that it has a mission or leadership to accomplish,-that…

how different books of the Bible illuminate those different characteristics in their own unique way. This paper will be focusing on the four gospels and one portrait they each bring to focus in their respective books. In the book of Matthew, the book is catered to the Jewish Christians which explains why Matthew is the most Jewish gospel out of the four gospels. Matthew accomplishes showing the connection between the old and new covenants in the New and Old Testament. It also gives the reader a…

present the gospel. However, missional churches usually share what Jesus did for the world during different events in the community. Since the church with the above mission statement is more missional, the topic will be handled from that perspective. However, the church must be careful when doing evangelism. As Mark Denver declares, “the way we do evangelism will inform the way our hearers understand the gospel. The way our hearers understand the gospel will inform the way they live the gospel.”…

differences that exist between the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Mark’s narrative describes a Peter who fails to understand Jesus and his mission up until the very end. Matthew and Mark through the use of redaction criticism of Mark’s gospel in their editing convey similar themes in their narratives but also contain key differences that emphasize the use of additional sources. John’s narrative takes a very different approach from the synoptic gospels, including both additions and…
