This study is an excerpt from the New Testament introduction to the new NIV Integrated Study Bible (NIVISB), which presents the Bible in chronological order so […] http://chitorch.org/index.php/chm/first-century/jesus-in-gospels/ 2011-06-27T15:35:18-05:00 What type of history do the four Evangelists tell, and what does it reveal about Jesus? From Christian History magazine. http://ivpress.com/cgi-ivpress/book.pl/code=2900 2010-11-04T10:59:43-05:00 Unique among reference books on the Bible, the volumes of the IVP Bible Dictionary Series bridge the gap between scholars and those pastors, teachers, students and lay people desiring in-depth treatment of select topics in an accesible and summary format. Articles cover traditional and contemporary topics, including cross-sectional themes, methods of interpretation, significant historical or cultural background, and each Old and New Testament book as a whole. http://biblica.com/niv/studybible/john.php 2008-07-03T14:22:25-05:00 This introduction to the book of John reports on the title, author, outline, and date of writing. John’s Gospel is rather different from the other three. Whether or not he knew them (or any one of them) continues to be debated. In any event, his witness to Jesus goes its own way, highlighting matters that in the other Gospels remain implicit and underdeveloped. http://biblica.com/niv/studybible/luke.php 2008-07-03T14:22:00-05:00 This introduction to the book of Luke reports on the title, author, outline, and date of writing. This Gospel is a companion volume to the book of Acts, and the language and structure of these two books indicate that both were written by the same person. http://biblica.com/niv/studybible/mark.php 2008-07-03T14:21:26-05:00 This introduction to the book of Mark reports on the title, author, outline, and date of writing. Since Mark’s Gospel is traditionally associated with Rome, it may have been occasioned by the persecutions of the Roman church in the period c. a.d. 64–67. The famous fire of Rome in 64—probably set by Nero himself but blamed on Christians—resulted in widespread persecution. http://biblica.com/niv/studybible/synoptic_gospels.php 2008-07-03T14:15:12-05:00 A careful comparison of the four Gospels reveals that Matthew, Mark and Luke are noticeably similar, while John is quite different. The first three Gospels agree extensively in language, in the material they include, and in the order in which events and sayings from the life of Christ are recorded.
