Jesus in Gospels - open course
We will explore the ministry and teaching of Jesus conveyed through the Synoptic Gospels as a whole (the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke). We will also consider briefly the genre of the gospels, why and how the gospels came to us, the distinctive portrait of Jesus in John’s gospel and the relationship between the Synoptics and John. We will discuss how what we have learned should apply to us today individually and as the church.
