In the Gospel of Mark, believed to be written around 67-73 AD, it shows many connections to Peter and what he preached at the time. In this book, Jesus is focused on more based on his deeds, rather than the words he preached, he is seen as being a vivid person through this Gospel. Mark’s writing were believed to target the audience of non-Jewish and Gentile-Christian groups. One of the central themes located within Mark’s Gospel is that following Jesus was often meant that Christians must suffer…

The Gospel of Mary is a non-canonical Gnostic gospel that is attributed to have been written by Mary Magdalene or Mary the mother of Jesus. Three copies of the gospel have been discovered, one was written in the Sahidic dialect of Coptic, and two others in Greek. Most scholars agree that the first manuscript was originally written in Greek sometime during the second century CE, which was found later on in Northern Egypt. What gives us a clue that this text was written during this time was that…

John (The Gospel): In this particular book which is one of the four Gospels and is called the called the Gospel of John is known to be that of a what is recognized as what we would call or know as a narrative literary genre (Smith, 2016). According to our text, “The Author of this book is John and he is known at the “the beloved disciple” and the people that were receiving this were the Greek-speaking Jews that were living outside of the city of Israel. The Gospel of John was recorded or told…

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…

The Gospels are the first four books of the New Testament in the Bible that record the good news of God’s plan for a Savior through the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Writing from before Jesus’ birth to about AD 85, each author had a particular style to communicate the life and meaning of Jesus. Though the methods may differ, each Gospel writer’s main purpose was to call people to faith (Elwell and Yarbrough 59). The book of Matthew was originally written for the Jews…

In Scot McKnight’s The King Jesus Gospel, the questions begged include whether or not Jesus preached the gospel, whether the gospel Paul preached is the same gospel Jesus preached, and whether the gospel we as Christians currently preach are the same, or even close to, the gospel Paul and Jesus preached. McKnight begins the readers’ journey through the gospel by introducing what the gospel actually is. The apostolic gospel is defined as an expansion of 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul “quote[s]…

The Gospels Analysis “God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.”(Martin Luther). To truly understand what the Gospels are it’s important to look at were the word comes from. The word Gospel means the teaching or revelation of Christ, or a thing that is absolutely true, and a set of principles or beliefs. The origin of the word comes from the Old English word gōd meaning good and the Old English word spel meaning new, or a story.…

depth. Lastly is John's gospel. John was a disciple of Jesus and affectionately known as "the one whom Jesus loved,” a nickname dubbed by John himself. John's gospel is a very relational one. It shows the picture of Jesus as the Messiah and tells the stories of Jesus' teachings and the life, death, and resurrection. John wrote this gospel and painted the picture of Jesus being very relational throughout the entire gospel. This is known as the relational gospel. All of the gospels are different…

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…

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…
