In Theology we had to do a research project on one of the Synoptic Gospels. I chose to do a research paper on the infancy narrative in Matthew’s Gospel. The term infancy narrative is used described the birth and early life of Jesus the Messiah. The infancy narrative in Matthew’s Gospel is broken into many parts; including: the genealogy of Jesus, the conception and birth of Jesus, the visit of the Magi, the flight to Egypt and massacre of the infants, and the return from Egypt. I will be…

evidence for it. Parallels can be seen all throughout the world; some are related while others are merely an accidental byproduct. Dennis MacDonald, a member of the Jesus Seminar, “argues that the Gospel of Mark, upon which he believes Matthew and Luke are based, was intended to be an inspiring myth intentionally modeled after Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey...[because] he claims to find significant parallels between Mark and Homer” (Boyd and Eddy 83-84). Even upon first glance, this argument seems…

“Miracle Maker,” possibly one of the best films explaining the life of Jesus Christ. This film consisted of various stories from the Synoptic Gospels: Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Since the movie was only approximately one hour and a half; it would be impossible for the director of the film to include every story in every gospel. Instead, the director of the film had to pick some of the most significant stories from the gospels, and they also had to exclude some significant stories. The director…

Jesus’ ethics and morals are still crystallised for Christians today by a virtue of the gospel of Matthew, along with the other synoptic gospels, revealing a deeper understating of the portrayal of Jesus. Mathew’s Gospel is written to mainly satisfy the Jewish beliefs, this may differ to the other synoptic gospels as they all had a specific structure and style of writing to portray Jesus depending on their audience and time. Matthew’s representations of Jesus as being a teacher, a fulfiller of…

that record similar accounts of the life of Jesus. One must also notice details only specific to one book as well. The next few paragraphs will highlight some of the similarities and differences found in each book. “The reason why Matthew, Mark, and Luke, are known as the synoptic gospels is that they follow a common pattern in describing the Ministry of Jesus. Both the similarities and the differences are significant.” (Guthrie, D, P. 83, 1970) Mathew’s gospel is the most Jewish of all the…

The focal point of the Gospel is the treatment of these categories of people that Luke considers to be ‘the poor’. The Gospel doesn’t only focus on the poor being inheritors of the message, but also the message of how the poor ought to be treated by those of power. This leads Scholars such as Mel Shoemaker to argue that Luke is primarily written not for the poor but to the influential and wealthy (Shoemaker 182). Luke highlights numerous passages that echo this solidarity with the poor and…

The four Gospels in the bible are accredited to four writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The gospels were split into two groups, which consisted of the synoptic Gospels and John’s gospel. The synoptic gospels consisted of Matthew, Mark and Luke’s gospels. The reason for this was because of the difference between the writings. The synoptic gospels were considered similar, but John did not really contain the same similarities that the other three writings had in common. The two works that I am…

Scholars have widely agreed that the Gospel of Luke has a special focus on the concern for the poor. This concern for the poor and marginalized first becomes obvious in the account of Jesus’ birth. In the Gospel of Matthew (2:1-12), it is the Magi, wealthy men from a distant country that come to worship Jesus, while Luke tells readers about shepherds- lowly men working in the fields coming to see the baby Jesus. Also, Luke has women, Elizabeth and Mary who as the focal point of the infancy…

While for Luke this stage didn’t occur until after he meets up with Han Solo and Chewbacca, Bobby Pendragon was reevaluating his decision when he was taken to an abandoned subway station by Uncle Press, preceded by a handful of superficial instructions that brought…
