Gospel of Luke

A venomous breed of Atheists, known as Antitheists, not only believe that The Bible is untrue, they believe it is evil. How they come up with a philosophical basis for calling anything inherently evil is another matter altogether. They have proudly attacked The Bible’s credibility with vitriolic attempts to discredit its accuracy as a historical document while accusing its very teaching as incoherent. But it does not stop there. People like Richard Dawkins and the late Christopher Hitchens have attacked

The synoptic gospels were based on the life, and death of Jesus Christ; however, there are numerous examples that the gospels had economic concepts, and financial thoughts that were surrounded around the idea of investments. The Parables of the Kingdom were all centered on the idea of investments, and the topic of what to do with wealth. The specific parable, within the kingdom I analyzed was the Parable of Talents, as it has the most economic concepts throughout it. A sum of Matthew, since Matthew

Parable of a Sinner: An analysis of Luke 15:11-32 Jesus’ parables reach the reader in a way that is personal and life-changing; the parable of the prodigal son in particular makes a very precious recognition to the human state of sin and the life changing power of forgiveness offered by Christ. Parables are in a way quite similar to metaphors, and Jesus uses them to further his audience’s understanding of the magnanimity of a certain situation. The New Testament, in Luke, chapter 15, verses 11-32, Jesus

In the New Testament, the main figure Jesus Christ brings us the definitive truth about divine Revelation. In the New Testament the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the main witnesses to the life and teaching of Jesus, forms the heart of all writings and occupy a unique place in Church. It is a collection of 27 Books written in less than 100 years (51 to 105 A.D.) after Christ as a Missionary Handbook. In which proclaims the birth, growth and teachings of the Christian Church. The New

In Raymond Brown’s introduction to the Gospel of Mark, he notes that the Gospels require particularly careful reading, because people are often familiar with their content and must avoid letting that familiarity color their reading (Brown, 126). This sentiment rings true when examining a peculiarity in Mark’s Gospel: rather than proclaiming his divine status as Messiah, Jesus often seems to hide his identity, from demons, crowds, and even his own disciples. This “Messianic Secret” runs so counterintuitive

It can be argued that the similarities and differences of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke can cause the reader to either see both of these accounts to complement one another with their different perspectives or that they contradict one another by certain events being mentioned in one birth narrative but not the other. Different aspects of both of these birth narratives such as the way Matthew and Luke treat Mary, the extent to which they use the Old Testament and the audience to whom they are writing

Two of the many miracles Jesus performed were the healing of a bleeding woman and the raising of a dead girl. This story can be found in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. In this story, Jarius, a synagogue leader, asked Jesus to lay His hands on his 12-year-old daughter who was dying. On their way to see the dying girl, a large crowd surrounded Jesus. In that crowd was a woman who had been bleeding for 12 years. The woman believed that if she touched Jesus’ cloak she would be healed, so she

metaphorical teases that permit the rest of the text to elaborate upon its themes. One of the most significant prologues in biblical history can be found among the New Testament in the Book of John. This book, in particular, differs from the other synoptic gospels due to the themes listed in the prologue, as well as in Jesus’s relationship with specific characters and testimonies of witness. Jesus’s interaction with Mary of Bethany in Chapter 11 illuminates the themes of life, witness, and belief that were

parables in Luke 15 and they are all talked about “lost”. The first parable is about a lost sheep, the second parable is about losing a dollar, and the third parable is about losing a son. When I was reading this chapter of Luke, I feel marveled with these three; because I think one parable is enough and wonder why Luke provided three parables? We need to understand the purposes of these three parables are not about the loss of people, but are focusing on how Jesus treats with these people. If Luke only

Elizabeth, John’s mother, is the mother of John the Baptist in the Bible (Luke 1, NLT). Deborah, Gabriel’s first wife in the novel, “was a prophet who had become a judge in Israel” (Judges 4:4, NLT). Her main role was to encourage people to obey God, much like the Deborah found in Go Tell It on the Mountain. Esther has an entire
