So this term I’m taking an RS course about Jesus’ life in the gospels. A few days ago, I had an assignment that I had to do. Basically, we had to compare three accounts of the same event (Matthew 12:22-32//Mark 3:20-30//Luke 11:14-23).
I’ve gone over and looked at overviews of the gospels in the past, but I don’t think I’ve really spent this much time look, comparing and explaining the differences between the authors, their purpose/theme of writing, their style and how it all affected the way they explained and wrote down an event in the gospels. It’s just great that we have four different accounts of Jesus’ life and teachings which all emphasize different themes.
I was actually supposed to read the gospels in one sitting too (one at a time, not all four at once haha), but I haven’t yet. =P
Anyways, I’m liking the course so far, though the lectures are a bit of a pain to go through haha; a little slow.
