Gospel of the Hebrews

Throughout the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, it is apparent that there are similarities as well as differences when it comes to portraying the life and times of Jesus the Christ, the general descriptions of who Jesus was, and the sayings and deeds of Jesus during his short stay on this earth. Scripture scholars highlight that each Gospel writer viewed Jesus from a different perspective. “The Church has always and everywhere maintained, and continues to maintain, the apostolic origin

The Bible is the most significant book in the history of civilization. In the context of Jewish history, the Bible’s impact on politics, history, and religion is without comparison. Along with establishing the covenant-based legitimacy of the Jewish people and their history, the Bible’s political impact is exemplified through prophetic politics, the power of kings, and the effects of political authority. Biblical archeology has discovered biblical structures which supports the historical validity

66 books that make up the entire Holy Bible, 27 are of the New Testament. The 27 books can be classified according to authorship, target group and time in history in the Christian calendar.

The Septuagint rapidly became the Bible of the emerging Christians. So few Christians had any knowledge or understanding of Hebrew, they could hardly test, and did not doubt, the accurateness and

literary forms of the Bible are the Hebrew Bible (commonly referred to as the Old Testament) and the twenty seven Christian documents (referred to as the New Testament). When it comes to the New Testament, these documents were primarily the works of Paul or writings about Paul by others. According to Harris (2014) “ The New Testament contains several different genres (categories) of literature, although it has considerably less variety than the Hebrew Bible.” The Gospels are one of the literary forms

When analyzing The Holy Scripture one often finds parallels between texts even when they have very different contexts and settings. An example of this is the analysis of exodus 1 and 2 along with the second chapter of the gospel of Matthew. To find the connections between these texts, one should first review the two plots, and then highlight the literary and theological themes by comparing the main characters side by side.

between the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. From numerous points of view, they are corresponding. The Hebrew Bible is foundational; the New Testament expands on that establishment with further divine revelation. The Hebrew Bible builds up rule that are seen to be illustrative of New Testament truths. The Hebrew Bible contains numerous prophecies that are satisfied in the New. The Hebrew Bible gives the historical backdrop of an individual; the New Testament center is on a Person. The Hebrew Bible demonstrates

supernatural tasks. The Hebrew Bible contains collections of events in which God spoke to a mortal man and gave him instructions, through at times those instructions were met with resistance. Similarly, the Christian New Testament also has direct commands from Jesus to mortal men, but his requests are claimed to have been followed with a lot less protest. Though that is not to say that both religious texts did not opposite scenarios as well. As mentioned previously, the Hebrew Bible contains infamous

Scripture. Some of the best poetry ever written is found in God’s Word. Luke and John used poetry to another extent. In addition, some other books in the Old Testament were written entirely in poetry. Hebrew poetry does not have a rhyming structure in the way much of the poetry in English does.
