7 Gospel Of Luke

According to Ehrman chapter, 7 introduce a comparison method when studying the Gospels. I believe that this approach is leaning more to a critical method when talking about biblical writings. I realize when reading through the chapter, there are many similarities and differences in the stories. The author shows that it is a critical method in how he describes the life and death of Jesus in the Gospel. By analyzing particular sermons and scriptures, he introduces Christ as a pivotal figure and theme. The Gospel of Luke Greco-Roman biography was written by an unknown person possibly Greek. Luke is the author who wrote the Acts of the Apostles. The Gospel tells us about the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Acts talk about the spread of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire.

The major theme in the Gospel of Luke was Jesus expressing the importance of Gentiles. In the Gospel, it does talk about the how important the Gentiles are to Jesus. It does state that Gentiles are part of the divine plan. In Luke, God is a major factor when telling about Jesus and the spread of Christianity. Luke explains Jesus does not preach the imminent end, but the end will come after the Gentiles have completed the mission. I do agree that God is a major factor when it comes to Jesus spreading the news of Christianity. I

believe that the Gentiles are important when it comes to completing the mission that Jesus came to do. Ehrman may disagree with me, which I do not have a problem with that.
At the beginning of Matthew and Luke, the narratives are similar when talking about Jesus being born of the Virgin Mary.

At the start of the Gospel Mark, he does not speak of the birth of Jesus. When reading through the Gospels of Luke and Matthew none the stories are the same, they are quite different. In Luke, he talks about the salvation of God is for the entire world. When you read the Gospel of Luke, Jesus roots trace back to Adam. Why Adam, because he was the first man created by God. Gospel of Luke does say Jesus is a descendant of the Jews. But if you read more into scriptures it says that Jesus belongs to the world, not to the

Jews.
The Gospel of Luke starts with Jesus speaking in the synagogue where he grew up. Jesus was preaching a sermon to the Jews saying that he was a prophet. Because Jesus said, he was a prophet the Jews tried to kill him. The narrative of a gospel is Jews people rejected by Jesus say he was a prophet, but the Gentiles embraced it. In the Gospel Mark, he said that Jesus died with unbearable pain, but in the Gospel of Luke he says that Jesus must die for it is a necessity. In Luke 23:46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.
What is meant by necessity is, for man’s sins had to be washed away, Jesus had to die on the cross. My argument with Ehrman is that the authors do have to tell the Gospel in different ways to make sure that each reader understands. What I find sad is Jesus was trying to convince his people that he was the Messiah, but instead they showed hatred and murdered him. Jesus death does relate to salvation but does talk about more in detail that repentance will bring forgiveness and salvation. Jesus was not guilty of any crimes, just wanted to bring love, peace, and salvation to the world. My conclusion of chapter 7 is that Luke, Mark, and Matthew emphasized directly on what God’s has in store for the world, which does have do with the Jews and the Gentiles. The three authors in my opinion are writing what God is telling them to write. Ehrman views may differ from my views, I am fine with that.
