Session 1 Reading Response Issue: “Canon” This week I read all six chapters that were assigned in our text‚ the lecture notes‚ as well as Matthew and Mark. Gundry (2012) writes‚ “The New Testament canon consists of books accepted by the early church as divinely inspired.” The idea of canon still confuses me a bit and especially because man decided what was divinely inspired and could be put into the Bible. I have a lot of questions running through my head. I believe the majority of them are

Mark Twain and Stephen Gould both wrote articles in which they expressed their views on the true nature of man. Mark Twain wrote the lowest animal.

I think that both authors make some good points‚ but I side more with Stephen

Throughout the Gospels of Luke and Matthew‚ there have been many kinds of Parables taught. Parables are brief‚ short stories told by Jesus to explain a simple moral or life lesson.

Matthew Frye Jacobson’s introduction of his book Whiteness of a Difference Color delves into the topic of race from a very different perspective than what one would might expect. Instead of discussing the topic about people of color‚ he writes about the history of racial classification of whites in America along with how the conception and perception of race is always changing.

John clearly had an evangelistic aim (Jn 20:31)‚ but Matthew wrote his gospel for the church‚ for those who already follow Jesus.

The Gospel of Matthew Introduction In the second century A.D.‚ the Gospel of Matthew was placed at the very beginning of the New Testament. It was believed to be the first Gospel written‚ though we now know that the Gospel of Mark dates earlier. Because it is the Gospel most intensely concerned with issues related to Judaism‚ it provides an appropriate transition from the Old Testament to the New Testament in the Christian Bible. Matthew became the most important of all Gospel texts for first-
