Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engaging, scholarly, and theologically honest, this introductory textbook will be welcomed by students and professors alike. What do we really know about Jesus and how do we know it? Jesus in the Gospels and Acts: Introducing the New Testament explores these questions from the perspective of the New Testament--specifically the four Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles, as well as the extracanonical gospels. Using language and concepts considerate of a religiously diverse undergraduate audience, the author explores issues of authorship, historicity, culture, and theology. Features include: "Check Your Reading" questions check the students' basic comprehension. "Do You Have the Basics?" puzzles check for comprehension through crosswords, word finds, sequencing, and matching activities. "Questions for Reflection" challenge the students to think more deeply about the reading's meaning and the implications for us today. "This book focuses on the central figure of the Christian Scriptures: Jesus. Arguably, no other figure in history has had more influence in shaping many of the religious and cultural norms in the world today. Whether you belong to a specific faith tradition or none at all, possessing a working knowledge of Jesus and the Gospels is important for religious, historical, and cultural literacy." --from the author's introduction

This book was released on 2016-08-18 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Four Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles, Vol. 2: Notes, 1838-1840 As we have a Latin and an English original of Napier's Plaine Discoverie of the Apocalypse, and are sure that there existed a Hebrew and a Greek of Josephus' Jewish War (jos. War, pref. 1 so also it is said that St. Matthew's Gospel was at first written by him in Hebrew, A. D. 36 or 38 and again, after some interval, in Greek.3 That the first published Gospel should be in the language of the Jews, tallies precisely with their being the sole oh jects of Jesus' immediate ministry (rom. Xv. 8, Acts xiii. And the first care of the Apostles; while it was obviously important that they should have on record in their own tongue our Lord's assurances of the Gentiles' admission to the covenant (e. Gr. Xx. 1 which St. Matthew writes without any expla nation or hint of fulfilment; as the admission itself was also a matter of perplexity to his colleagues, and of stumbling to his compatriots. The single reason for questioning the belief of this report is the total loss of the Hebrew copy; the loss nevertheless is not without satisfactory explanation. In the fall of J u dsea, the Hebrew would by degrees disappear as the Greek circulated more and more, the Jews caring nothing for its preservation; and when it was par tially corrupted by the Nazarenes and, to a still greater degree, by the Ebionites, the orthodox pro bably destroyed every thing that came in their way bearing the semblance of the Hebrew copy.

Download or read book The Gospels and Homer written by Dennis R. MacDonald and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These two volumes of The New Testament and Greek Literature are the magnum opus of biblical scholar Dennis R. MacDonald, outlining the profound connections between the New Testament and classical Greek poetry. MacDonald argues that the Gospel writers borrowed from established literary sources to create stories about Jesus that readers of the day would find convincing. In The Gospels and Homer MacDonald leads readers through Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, highlighting models that the authors of the Gospel of Mark and Luke-Acts may have imitated for their portrayals of Jesus and his earliest followers such as Paul. The book applies mimesis criticism to show the popularity of the targets being imitated, the distinctiveness in the Gospels, and evidence that ancient readers recognized these similarities. Using side-by-side comparisons, the book provides English translations of Byzantine poetry that shows how Christian writers used lines from Homer to retell the life of Jesus. The potential imitations include adventures and shipwrecks, savages living in cages, meals for thousands, transfigurations, visits from the dead, blind seers, and more. MacDonald makes a compelling case that the Gospel writers successfully imitated the epics to provide their readers with heroes and an authoritative foundation for Christianity.
