historical Jesus. One of these sources is the Quelle Gospel. Quelle is the german word for source, and is often abbreviated as the Q Gospel. This gospel is imbedded in both Matthew and Luke. Whenever Matthew and Luke both agree on something, but it is not mentioned in Mark, that means it is from another source, the Q gospel. This gospel doesn't really exist, or is not known to humans today though. It is hypothetical and intangible. The Q gospel is important because it plays a huge role in the…

In the Bible, there are four gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The Synoptic Gospels are the first three gospels, which are Matthew, Mark, and Luke (Edward, 1). The word “synoptic” means “to see together”. Even though there are additions and omissions, the material and the arrangement are the same in each of the three gospels. Each gospel gives an account of the same events in Jesus’ life. There are six principles for interpreting the Gospels: 1) Understand historical background of…

The Gospel of John is one of four gospels in the Holy Bible and is the fourth book in chronological order presented in the New Testament. The Gospel of John is a unique perspective of the life of Jesus Christ. "In the beginning was the Word (Jesus Christ), and the word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God" (John 1:1-2). John begins his Gospel with Jesus in a way none of the synoptic gospels had. His version of Jesus began at the same time as God, compared to…

This film sticks to the text in many parts of the movie. The film starts out with Jesus’ temptation. This story is in Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13. The film copies the story very well, but in their way. By their way, I mean their culture and how they view it. Another part is the Last Supper and Judas’ betrayal at the dinner. The Last Supper is in Matthew 26, Mark 14, Luke 22, and John 13. They put their own twist on The Last Supper. Son of Man diverges creatively from the text by the director…

Proclamation of the Kingdom, is found in all four Gospels but is mostly talked about in the Gospel of Matthew. An important part of The Proclamation of the Kingdom is in the Beatitudes, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matt 5:3). This is important because he is preaching to the crowd and getting them to understand that He is not of this world and He wants us to be a part of His kingdom. Another example of this mystery in the Gospel of Mark. You will see…

He first of all narrates miracles that followed on the day of the sermon (8:1-17); he then turns to the evening of which Mark writes and relates that a crowd had again gathered at the home of Jesus, and that this induced Jesus to decide to leave. Matthew then reports the storm and the miracles that followed on the next day and completes his preliminary survey of the miracles in chapters 8, 9 to match his account of the teaching recorded in chapters 5-7 (Lenski…

D.J. Opperman’s poem, Christmas Carol, uses the function of ‘place’ in both the setting and the language of the poem in order to make a social commentary about the racial segregation and cultural divide in South Africa. The following essay will discuss how his reference to the biblical story of the birth of Jesus Christ, as well as the historical significance of District Six in South Africa, substantiates the former statement. According to the IIE Module Guide (2017:16), ‘Space’ is a neutral…

C. S. Lewis beautifully portrays the story of the Crucifixion and Resurrection in a fiction setting in such a way that Christians see the parallels and are reminding of the ultimate sacrifice but people who are not familiar with Jesus still can take something away from Lewis's story, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
