Download or read book Why Four Gospels written by A. W. Pink and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does the New Testament contain four Gospels—four different accounts of the same Man? And don’t the Gospels contradict one another? Masterful Bible teacher Arthur Pink explains how the four Gospels do not contradict but rather collaborate in order to provide us with a deeper, multifaceted description of the person of Jesus Christ. In Matthew, we see Jesus as Messiah and King of the Jews. In Mark, we are introduced to the Servant of Jehovah. In Luke, we see the human Jesus as the Son of Man, Adam’s descendant. Finally, in John, we thrill to the supernatural Jesus who is undoubtedly the Son of God. No believer can truly know Jesus without having an understanding of the four distinct roles He fulfilled in His time on earth. Pink’s in-depth look at the four Gospels will boost your faith and bring you ever closer to a Savior who is fully human, fully divine, and above everything, Lord of all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are there differences in the stories of the Gospels? Licona turns to Greek classicist Plutarch for an answer, assessing differences that appeared when Plutarch told the same story more than once in his Lives.

Download or read book Comparing the Gospels written by David G. Muller, Jr. and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying the Gospels from a New Perspective. Readers of the Bible have always known that the Gospels tell many of the same stories, usually with differences in detail, but sometimes with significant variations. Comparing the Gospels identifies these parallel passages and lays them side by side so you can compare them more easily. Relieved of the burden of flipping Bible pages back and forth among two, three, or all four of the Gospels, you can focus on what each witness has to report. As a rule, you will end up with a more complete picture of each episode, as details from each can often be combined. But you will also find some sources of perplexity, where two or more of the Gospel witnesses tell inconsistent stories. Sometimes it even seems not all the accounts of a particular episode can possibly be true. Bible students using this book will find it necessary to decide what to make of these conflicting pieces of evidence. Bible study leaders and students will find this approach intellectually challenging and a welcome change from classic book-of-the-Bible studies. Pastors developing a sermon on a particular theme will also find it useful to have at their fingertips all the Gospel passages that report on an episode in Christ's ministry.

Download or read book The Net Bible Synopsis of the Four Gospels written by Gregory White and published by Biblical Studies Press. This book was released on 2009-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A synopsis is a tool which displays different passages of a text side by side for comparison. This is most commonly done with the four Gospels of the New Testament because of their similar material, but it could reasonably be done with any text that has similar passages, such as the Old Testament historical narratives. The synopsis you presently hold contains the four Gospels of the New Testament. It is different from comparing parallel versions, such as one English translation to another, because all of the passages displayed in this synopsis are from the same version, the NET Bible. It is different from a harmony because the passages are not reorganized into one story; each Gospel in a synopsis is separate from the others and can be read by itself or in comparison with the others. This parallel arrangement enables fruitful comparison of the Gospels to each other so each may be understood well on its own in light of the others.

Download or read book Four Other Gospels written by John Dominic Crossan and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-03-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four canonical gospels are long set in established sequence as Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. This book is about four other gospels, the Gospel of Thomas, the Secret Gospel of Mark; the Gospel of Peter, and Egerton Papyrus 2. These four other gospels have generally been regarded as mere digests or collages of the canonical gospels, whereas in fact, as Professor Crossan persuasively shows, the four others hold within their mutilated fragments independent or earlier traditions than those tradition has canonized. Four Other Gospels proposes a spectrum of relations between the canonical gospels and these others. This spectrum ranges from the Gospel of Thomas, which is a parallel and independent tradition, to Egerton Papyrus 2, on which both John and Mark are dependent, to the Secret Gospel of Mark, on which Mark directly and John indirectly are dependent, and on to the Gospel of Peter, which contains an original Passion-Resurrection source used by all four of the canonical gospels, but which submitted to their eventual ascendancy by attempting a harmonization between it and them, and placed the new complex under the authority and authorship of Simon Peter. Four Other Gospels does not propose a new or alternative canon. The canon is a fact both of history and of theology. But the thesis of this book is that anyone who takes the four other gospels seriously and thoughtfully will never again be able to read the four canonical gospels in quite the same way. A new light has been shed.
Download or read book The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark written by Dennis Ronald MacDonald and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking book, Dennis R. MacDonald offers an entirely new view of the New Testament gospel of Mark. The author of the earliest gospel was not writing history, nor was he merely recording tradition, MacDonald argues. Close reading and careful analysis show that Mark borrowed extensively from the Odyssey and the Iliad and that he wanted his readers to recognise the Homeric antecedents in Mark's story of Jesus. Mark was composing a prose anti-epic, MacDonald says, presenting Jesus as a suffering hero modeled after but far superior to traditional Greek heroes. Much like Odysseus, Mark's Jesus sails the seas with uncomprehending companions, encounters preternatural opponents, and suffers many things before confronting rivals who have made his house a den of thieves. In his death and burial, Jesus emulates Hector, although unlike Hector Jesus leaves his tomb empty. Mark's minor characters, too, recall Homeric predecessors: Bartimaeus emulates Tiresias; Joseph of Arimathea, Priam; and the women at the tomb, Helen, Hecuba, and Andromache. And, entire episodes in Mark mirror Homeric episodes, including stilling the sea, walking on water, feeding the multitudes, the Triumphal E

Download or read book The Four Gospels written by William S. Stobb and published by Ambassador International. This book was released on 2015-06-18 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Four Gospels have been read and studied for nearly 2,000 years. As early as the second century Irenaeus, Church father and martyr, declared that four accounts of the life of Christ were needed - no more and no less! Yet many Christians, in spite of the numerous and excellent commentaries available today, cannot answer the question, “Why four Gospels?” This in-depth volume, which took 20 years to research and 10 years to write, clearly reveals the necessity of a four-fold portrait of Christ. Selected excerpts from some of the most celebrated writers of the past, such as A. Edersheim, Chas. Erdman, F. W. Farrar, Edw. Gibbon, F. L. Godet, D. S. Gregory, F. W. Krummacher, H. H. Milman, G. Campbell Morgan, Arthur Pink, Sir Wm. Ramsay, Chas. Rollin, R. C. Trench, B. F. Westcott, and scores of others, are incorporated throughout the book in order to explain and substantiate the historical background and characteristic differences of the Four Gospels. This work is an excellent reference for teachers, students, and historians, but is designed for Christians in all walks of life. A homeschooling mother stated that the “work is quite readable (even by a pressured mom) and very worthwhile. I especially like the organization of the book, which helped me keep my bearings. The history is fascinating and helpful.”

This book was released on 2015-04-05 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book lays out all four Gospels of the New Testament individually, with their own side-by-side comparisons of paralleled accounts found elsewhere in the Gospels. All these paralleled sections are arraigned side-by-side so that the reader can easily compare them to each other at a glance. Each section of paralleled accounts are provided with very thorough analysis and explanations that point out any differences and similarities between the Gospel accounts, and clarify and answer all questions of discrepancies or contradictions. Along with the paralleled passages side-by-side and the explanations, there are many added notes that provide those Gospel passages interwoven so that the reader can see what the Gospel accounts look like when flowing together chronologically. The explanations that are provided are gathered from a variety of great theologians from many centuries, such as St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, John Maldonatus, Cornelius a Lapide, John McEvilly, etc. The translation used for this synopsis is the New Douay-Rheims Bible.
