- Who was Jesus?
- What did he do?
- What did he say?
- How do we know what we know about him?
- What are our sources for knowledge of Jesus?
- Jesus left no writings, and the knowledge we have of his life and teachings comes almost exclusively from the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
- The gospels, from the Greek evangel (‘good news’), are accounts of Jesus’ life.
- There are four gospels in the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
- The authors of the gospels are pseudonymous.
- Pseudonymity is: A literary practice, common among Hellenisitc-Jewish and early Christian writers, of writing or publishing a book in the name of a famous religious figure of the past.
- No gospel writer…
– reveals their name
– their background
– the place or date of composition
– claims to be an eyewitness to the events they narrate
– claims to be inerrant or inspired
None of the gospel writers identified themselves
- These headings were added late in the second century CE (long after the gospels were written)
- 3 of the 4 canonical gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) are often referred to as the Synoptic Gospels because they include many of the same stories, often in a similar sequence and in similar wording (The term synoptic comes from the Greek syn, which means “together”)
- The relationship between these gospels is important. The three gospels are highly paralleled in arrangement, content, and language
- The literary relationship has been a longstanding problem… why are they so similar? There is a literary interdependence between them… someone copied someone
- But who copied from who and which was written first?
- This quandary is referred to as the ‘Synoptic Problem’
