The Gospel of Matthew is a relatively easy passage to read‚ and according to Hauer and Young‚ “The Gospel of Matthew is nearly as overt as the Gospel of Mark is hidden.”[1] Matthew is organized into a fivefold pattern and two parts of the fivefold passage‚ “The higher Righteousness” (Mt. 3-7) and “The true Discipleship” (Mt. 8-10) will be looking into in great detail regarding Matthews Gospel.

“The Lost Letters of Pergamum”‚ by Bruce Longenecker‚ he takes the name found in Revelations and creates a fictional character in a world based two thousand years ago. Antipas is a Roman Civic leader who learns much about Christianity through Luke’s Gospel writings. He learns in Luke’s writings that Jesus is “the answer” for both him‚ and for the first century Greco-Roman world. In many ways the world Longenecker created is similar to that of the 21st century and in many ways it differs. The Lost Letters

The Gospel of Mary inspired the monologue of Mary Magdalene as Jesus’ sister. To me‚ it became clear that Mary had known the secrets of Jesus and Jesus treated her the greatest‚ since they were siblings and best friends‚ not lovers. I took the connection I had made and used it as the association of Mary Magdalene in the gospels. Mary Magdalene traveled with Jesus when he proclaimed the Kingdom of God‚ she was present with the mother of Jesus during his crucifixion‚ and she was present at the tomb

This is a staggering omission‚ and totally at odds with the picture given to us by the Gospels.

Jesus‚ also The Nativity‚ refers to the accounts of the birth of Jesus‚ primarily based on the two accounts in the gospels of Luke and Matthew‚ and secondarily on some apocryphal texts. The word is anglicized from Latin De nativitate Iesu‚ a section title in the Vulgate. The canonical gospels of Luke and Matthew describe Jesus being born in Bethlehem‚ in Judea‚ to a virgin mother.

Why Christianity is Unbelievable: Part 1: Historical I’ve been studying Christianity for over 20 years. In my youth‚ I jumped into it with enthusiasm and blind faith. Growing up in the buckle of the Bible belt‚ it seemed to be the right thing to do to seek a responsible path to adulthood. In 1984‚ I received a degree in Theology and began teaching at a Bible college in St.Paul‚ MN.

Pergamum Professor Bruce W. Longenecker’s novel‚ The Lost Letters of Pergamum‚ describes a collection of fictional letters being exchanged between two fictional characters known as Antipas and Luke. Antipas is a benefactor from Rome‚ and Luke is a physician and author of the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts. Luke is also the main person who Antipas goes to throughout the novel for knowledge and answers to his many questions. The story is very well written and gives the reader an idea of what the first

bodily resurrection of Jesus is positively vital in the declaration of the gospel. Lacking the gospel is not superior news‚ other than awful news. The news will be just a simple person who was cruelly beaten and killed for profanity. In what way could the apostles present this news‚ if they did not when through the bodily resurrection?
