Session 3 - Overview of 4 Gospels

from Catholic Doctrine Bible Study Hosted by Jim Hawk

Dealing With Discrepancies In The 4 Gospel Accounts, and Emphases of Each Gospel Account Key Points: We would EXPECT discrepancies from 4 separate accounts of a person’s life. Yet the accounts, combined, paint an honest picture of the life and divinity of Christ. Matthew-written to a JEWISH (Jewish convert) audience, to show that Jesus is the promised Jewish messiah. Mark-written to Christians in Rome. “Peter’s Gospel.” Emphasises Jesus’ ACTIONS and his HUMANITY. “Suffering Servant.” Source document for Matthew and Luke. Luke-written for GENTILES. Emphasises:Kingdom is for ALL. Women in high esteem. Treatment of poor. Holy Spirit presence. Jesus’ prayer life. Matthew, Mark, Luke-“Synoptic.” John- Emphasises: Jesus’ DIVINITY. (NOT “Suffering Servant”, He’s always in control.) Most symbolism, double meanings, numerology.
