Traditions in Conflict: Matthew, Mark, and Luke: September 17, 24, October 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 in 310
This 7-week course will bring a critical eye to the first three books of the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Exploring their similarities, problems, and inconsistencies, it will be accessible for the beginner and yet sufficiently challenging for the more serious student of the Bible. Why did they write their gospels in the first place and who was their audience? Who wrote first and did the others copy it? Why isn’t the gospel of John being examined? How do their portraits of Jesus differ? These and other issues will be explored. Bring your Bible and your questions!
This course will be led by Pullen member Rev. Dr. Nick Carter, an ordained ABC minister and President Emeritus of Andover Newton Theological School.
