The Gospel of the Lord
Author: Michael F. Bird
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 0802867766
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
In this book, through a distinctive evangelical and critical approach, Michael Bird explores the historical development of the four canonical Gospels. He shows how the memories and faith of the earliest believers formed the Gospel accounts of Jesus that got written and, in turn, how these accounts further shaped the early church. Bird's study clarifies the often confusing debates over the origins of the canonical Gospels. Bird navigates recent concerns and research as he builds an informed case for how the early Christ followers wrote and spread the story of Jesus -- the story by which they believed they were called to live. The Gospel of the Lord is ideal for students or anyone who wants to know the story behind the four Gospels. Watch an interview with Michael Bird from our Eerdmans Author Interview Series:

Author: Robert Geis
Publisher: University Press of America
ISBN: 0761859721
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
Geis argues the differences in Synoptic accounts are explained by evidence that shows a Hebrew subtext, which the Greek translation misses. Geis also maintains Matthew’s role as tax collector and record keeper makes the claim that he kept a cotemporaneous written account of Jesus quite credible, as well as accurate.

The Gospel as Manuscript
Author: Chris Keith
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019938438X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
"But the Bible says" is a common enough refrain in many conversations about Christianity. The written verses of the four canonical Gospels are sometimes volleyed back and forth and taken as fact while the apocryphal and oral accounts of the life of Jesus are taken as mere oddities. Early thinkers inside and outside the community of Jesus-followers similarly described a contentious relationship between the oral and the written, though they often focused on the challenges of trusting the written word over the spoken-Socrates described the written word an illegitimate "bastard" compared to the spoken word of a teacher. Nevertheless, the written accounts of the Jesus tradition in the Gospels have taken a far superior position in the Christian faith to any oral tradition. In The Gospel as Manuscript, Chris Keith offers a new material history of the Jesus tradition's journey from voice to page, showing that the introduction of manuscripts played an underappreciated, but crucial, role in the reception history of the gospel. From the textualization of Mark in the first century CE until the eventual usage of liturgical readings as a marker of authoritative status in the second and third centuries, early followers of Jesus placed the gospel-as-manuscript on display by drawing attention to the written nature of their tradition. Many authors of Gospels saw themselves in competition with other evangelists, working to establish their texts as the quintessential Gospel. Reading the texts aloud in liturgical settings and further establishedthe literary tradition in material culture. Revealing a vibrant period of competitive development of the Jesus tradition, wherein the material status of the tradition frequently played as important a role as the ideas that it contained, Keith offers a thorough consideratios of the competitive textualization and public reading of the Gospels.

The Genesis Conspiracy
Author: Wayne Talbot
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1669886107
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 807
Book Description
Did the early Church of Rome conspire with the pagan Emperor Constantine to create a new religion for the West, superseding Judaism and displacing the Children of Israel as God’s First Born Son (Exodus 4:22)? Catholic scholar, Bernard Lee observed: “Most Christological interpretation has been ‘supersessionist’, that is, it has interpreted Jesus as initiating a new Covenant that supersedes Judaism. Historically, it is quite improbable that Jesus had any such thing in mind.” Similarly, “There is little likelihood that Jesus had any conscious intention of founding a new religious institution, either superseding Judaism or alongside it.” The obvious question is: If that was not in the mind of Jesus, on whose life and teachings Christianity is said to be based, in whose mind was it? This study examines the wealth of evidence that has convinced the author that in truth, Christianity is a centuries-old conspiracy with significant anti-Jewish undercurrents.
