The Mysteries of the Synoptic Gospels: Uncovering the Hidden Layers of Matthew, Mark, and Luke
- How are the Synoptic Gospels interconnected, and what hidden sources might they share?
- Why do the Gospels offer different versions of key events in Jesus’s life, such as his birth, crucifixion, and resurrection?
- What was Mark’s “messianic secret,” and why did he choose to portray Jesus in such a cryptic way?
- How did Matthew’s Gospel navigate the tension between Jewish tradition and the emerging Christian faith?
- Did Luke intend his Gospel to be a historical account, and how reliable is it as a historical source?
