Biblical Book: Matthew: Born-Palestine-fl 1stc. AD. Death-fl 1st c. AD-Day Unspecified In the biblical book essay I chose to write about the Book of Matthew in the New Testament. The Book of Matthew is known as a narrative genre with Matthew, one of the twelve apostles, an evangelist being known as the author of the first Gospel of the Bible in the New Testament. He was also known as “Levi, son of Alphaeus” (Luke 5:27). The book was written in begins as a genealogy of Jesus life starting…

When I review what we have learn in this class I realized how much I didn’t know about Jesus, or even anything in the book. I’ve learned a lot that I never knew, but some of the stuff I have learn is actually relevant to me and my life, even when I thought none of it would be. The concepts that I think are relevant to me and my life the most would be from the Prison Letters of Paul, when Paul was in the Philippian prison. While Paul was in prison he was still joyful even when he was in…

recognises the women in Jesus life, and includes parables about then and gives the recognition, unlike other gospels. The Gospel of Luke was written around the same time as that of Matthew, around the mid-80s of the first century CE and was written in the most refined Greek of any gospels in the New Testament. Like Matthew,…

All scholars are in agreement that Galatians was written by Paul. Though some argue for a very early date, making it of the earliest letters he wrote. Some evidence for this is the lack of any reference to the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15), however, his reference to taking Titus to Jerusalem with him in Gal. 2:1 means he already returned from his first missionary journey (Acts 13-14), therefore the Council probably already took place. Galatians may date to the late fifties. “Galatia” became a…

Katie Colucy Professor Bussy BIBL 102 New Testament 21 January 2016 The Gospels The Gospel consists of Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John. Within these books are four different authors. The uniqueness about each book is that they are all told from different perspectives centering on the coming of Jesus, His crucifixion, and resurrection. First we start off with Mathew which was written, "between Ad 80 and 100” (Elwell and Yarbrough 65). Mathew's point of view is all about how Jesus has fulfilled…

Jesus’ identity and purpose Jesus is present in any place and moment in the life of every human being. The Bible, which is the best-selling and greater wisdom book, shows the four Gospels of the four first disciples of Jesus in life. John, who was one of the disciples, showed on his gospel the Jesus Christ's teachings. on the verses of John's gospel, (13: 5-11 & 34-35, NIV) show how Jesus, by washing their disciples' feet which was the most degraded work at that time, taught them how they should…

[24:48]). In addition, Jesus is a spirit- an empowered servant whose work here on earth will appeal to Isaiah’s prophecies calling for prophetic justice (Isaiah [61:1-2]) without being predicative of the specific prophetic events like in Matthew [1:22-23] or Matthew [2:5]. I believe the tone of the Holy Spirit disseminating justice leads to compassion for the poor and great…

The Gospels Matthew and Luke each contain a short but elaborate birth narrative concerning Jesus’ infancy. Bonaventure’s, “The Tree of Life,” also highlights the story of the Infancy of Christ but in a more encompassing manner. This paper will provide an overview of each account and compare them to the presentation emphasized by Bonaventure. While each account has little overlap, there are important points in each that contribute to the themes the two Gospels are trying to call attention to. By…

Throughout the Gospels of Matthew and John, each of them expressed rhetorical devices and rhetorical appeals in their stories but illustrated them in varying ways. According to the article by Matera, he expressed “symbolism that was applied to the evangelists by relating Matthews Gospel to the face of a human and Johns Gospel to the face of an eagle. This symbolism, which was specially developed by Irenaeus, enabled the church to see each of the Gospels as distinctive and yet gazing upon the…

four book, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each teaches about the gospel and each take a differing stance on Jesus the Christ. To best understand these lessons, all four books must be analyzed. Matthew “As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.”(Matthew 9:9). Matthew was a tax collector and a hated one at that. Matthew wrote…
