  • Jesus Message
    1,062 words
    The Gospels are narratives about the life and time of Jesus. They describe not only Jesus' life but also what was taking place at that time. This helps to give us a better perception of why some things happened the way they did and what it was possibly like for Jesus. We are able to better understand some of the social and political aspects of life during Jesus' time period, which can help us to overall understand the meaning behind the Gospels better. (Bible Dictionary) The story of Jesus' life...
  • Line With Many Old Testament Prophets Jesus

    Matthews Christology is one that emphasises to a Jewish audience the Jewishness of Jesus.

  • Author Of Mark Change Matthew's Confident Peter
    1,281 words
    What Happened at the Transfiguration? The Transfiguration, depicted with minor variations in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, is an event in which Jesus' true glory is revealed to the privileged disciples (Peter, James, and John) who were there to witness the event. Our author, Jerome Murphy-O'Connor, O.P., gives us a literary critical perspective on what he believes really happened atop Mt. Tabor in Lower Galilee. As the story in The Synoptic Gospels goes, Jesus ascends to the top of a mountain with Pe...
  • Gospels Matthew And Mark
    584 words
    Response to Matthew The book of Matthew is written to the Jews. We see this because of the many quotes from the Old Testament. The Jews knew the Old Testament better than anyone of that time, and they should have been looking for the messiah that was promised. The main point that Matthew was trying to make by his book it that, Jesus was the messiah promised to us in the Old Testament. That is why he used so many quotes because he wanted to show the Jews that Jesus was the promised messiah. One m...

  • Confidence In Matthew's Knowledge Of Jesus
    1,873 words
    Who is Jesus? Who is this man Jesus? Where was he from? What did he do for others and us? A great source of reference to answer this question would be someone who had direct contact with him in everyday life. Someone who saw the daily wonders he created would be the best source for information. Matthew, the apostle, is believed to have written the gospel of Matthew. He was able to experience firsthand all of the amazing miracles that Jesus performed. God inspired his words, and his gospel relate...
  • Beginning Of The Gospel Of Jesus Christ
    562 words
    Gospel Gospel is defined as the good news. In the New Testament times, gospel did not attribute to a book or manuscript, but to a proclamation or message. It was normally referred to as a proclamation of the good news. The good news usually consisted of a victory in battle or other news for the Romans.

  • Miracles Of Jesus Christ
    1,562 words
    The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John comprise the core of Christian belief and tradition; in telling the story of the life and works of Jesus of Nazareth, each serves to direct and instruct the lives of His followers while also firmly establishing the divinity and nature of Jesus as the Messiah. The Gospel of John stands out from the other three, deemed the Synoptic Gospels because of the way they are organized section by section, rather than as synthesizing an overall theme as in John, ...
  • Matthew Mark Luke 13 Jesus
    4,478 words
    Conceptual Framework The term synoptic is applied to those gospels which appear to have been created from the same traditional sources: Mark, Matthew and Luke. The interconnection of the 'Synoptics' is not, however, simply one of close resemblance, it is also one of striking difference. When compared attentively, the three records appear distinct as well as similar in incidents, plan, and language. The harmony and the variety, the resemblance's and the differences in their portrayal of Jesus, mu...

  • Jesus If The Gospel
    1,469 words
    Gospel, A Matter of Definition Reasonable God-talk presupposes that we agree on the meanings of the terms we use. A foundational term for Christian theology is gospel. This term, however, has had multiple referents. This paper explores referents for gospel and their implications. Theological authors are often inconsistent in their definition of gospel. Donovan uses at least four different referents for this term. He most clearly defines gospel in historical terms: The gospel is, after all, not a...
  • Gospel Of Thomas
    1,024 words
    The Gospel of Thomas is a collection of sayings attributed to Jesus of Nazareth. Unless it is merely a collection of materials that mainly were drawn out of the Biblical gospels, as seems unlikely for most if not all of Thomas's ayings, then Thomas is the most important historical source for knowledge of Jesus of Nazareth that exists outside of the Bible. It is the most significant manuscript ever found for the history of earliest Christianity. When the gospel was written is question many schola...
  • Source Of John's Gospel

    The new testament contains four (4) accounts of the story of Jesus' life, death and resurrection as presented by Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, The 3 accounts are similar, while Johns bible presents Jesus in a unique way.

  • Gospel Of Mark And Paul's Letters
    963 words
    The Apocalyptic worldview as told through the writers of the Bible, is illustrated, as possessing great revelations of God's mystery through the media of angels. It is a time where cosmic transformations will occur as well as the judgment of all souls. In general synopses, the apocalypses are of a two-type form: the historical apocalypse and the apocalypse of Abraham. The first is illustrated in the book of Revelations as well as Daniel.

    A Revolutionary Radical: Jesus in the Gospels Lib enter hominem id quod volun t credant. - CAESAR Jesus might have existed as a mortal, but it is unlikely that he existed as the Holy Son of God. Since most of the writings about him were written decades after his death it is more likely that his legend was used as political propaganda. This leaves us today with many difficult if not impossible to answer questions. If Jesus died because he was a radical revolutionary and not because he was the Son...
  • Written As Some Of Luke's Passages
    495 words
    The crucifixion periscope is one of the most read and studied stories of the gospels, second only to the story of the resurrection.

Many criminals had been crucified at Golgotha ...
