The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is considered by most Christians to be the central tenet of the Christian doctrine. The events that occurred after his crucifixion and subsequent interment in the tomb have raised numerous questions and have been the subject of debate among believers and non-believers for centuries. The Gospels of the New Testament, written in first and second centuries, are the primary source for understanding the events surrounding the resurrection of Christ. It is the limited…

The editorial summaries may be identified as the passages that punctuate the events, chronology, and other factual aspects of the narrative. Luke guides the reader through the events of the early movement and utilizes his commentary to amplify the unity, commonality, and growth of the movement. The first editorial summary can be found in Acts 1:12-13. Luke transitions from the generic to the specific by identifying the individuals by name who form the center of the movement. Significantly, found…

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…
