Though the Gospel of Luke does not directly mention the author, many scholars have a strong clue as to who it may be. The individual who wrote Luke, also wrote the book of Acts. The Gospel of Luke includes more than thirty years—the lifetime of Jesus on earth—from about 6 BC to about AD 30. Though it is uncertain exactly when the story was written, many guess in the AD 50s or 60s, placing it before Paul’s execution. With that being said, this would explain why Acts end without telling the…

The Gospel of John Introduction The Gospel of John is arguably legacy of john ministry. “Highlighting intimacy in a way we had not seen Jesus reveled in prior gospels.” The literature, both profound and conveying really can be quite confusing at times. Even with this, the gospel was given a high place of honor. The following is a study to dissect the inside of many scholars trying to unravel the gospel that is been filled with intimacy and expression. The analysis of The Gospel of John's…

This text provides some insight into the struggles that helped shape beliefs of the Gnostics and the early Orthodox Church as they responded to attacks of heresy from one another. The…

The Gospel of Mark The gospel of Mark was authored by John Mark; Paul’s traveling companion and interpreter of Peter in 66-70 CE, a time when the Jewish people were revolting against Rome. The gospel is believed to have been composed in Rome, Syria or Palestine and addressed Christian Gentiles.

purpose of the three synoptic Gospels Matthew, Mark and Luke is to show the different perspectives of Christ and to bring a new light to the different aspects of Christ with each writer’s take by emphasizing different parts and characteristics of Christ for each writer’s specific audience. An author’s writing is greatly influenced by the author’s personality, and the style of writing the Gospels is unique because each Gospel is written by a different writer.

this one appears in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, but in two different narrative settings. Assuming that this saying originated in the life of Jesus, how might someone explain its journey from Jesus himself to the Gospels of Thomas, Matthew, and Luke, with reference to oral tradition, "Q," and the Two-Source Hypothesis? Sayings that may have occurred throughout Jesus’ life appear in many of the Gospels. The journey of these sayings from Jesus himself to the different Gospels can happen in…

have read the Gospels many times. I went to Sacred Heart Catholic School before St. Marys, and one of our assignment in 7 grade was to read each Gospel and answer a packet of questions. Like if said I’ve read the Gospels a lot and about half of those times were for school assignments. When read the Gospel this time around I notice that my mind was filling in the blanks. I was putting parts from other Gospels into this Gospel in place were it wasn’t written. The most common Gospels I read are…

Throughout both Gospels, Jesus was notably portrayed as a teacher, messiah, and each Gospel was targeted towards different audience,…

Neither is there any external,…

that His ministry was complete, whole, and perfect. He can alter substance and has power over time. He is not limited by geographic distance, he can control the elements of nature, re-create the body, and bring the dead back to life. This part of the Gospel of John clearly depicts the omnipotence of Jesus Christ, who is worthy of our explicit faith and trust. Every human being is a candidate of the miracles of Christ the Lord. As a result of the many miracles in our lives, we should be more…
