BIBL 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Tikal Temple I
Document Summary
Differences from john to other gospels: higher christology-more divine than human, more of a story that isn"t chronological-we know because of the placement of the story of flipping tables in the temple. Messiah : evangelist or apologetic, john is trying to defend jesus to jewish opposition, prologue, announces themes in the gospel. Book of signs: 7 signs, juxtaposed with stories of jesus, water into wine, healing an official"s son, healing a lame man, feeding 5000, walking on water, healing a man born blind, raising lazarus. Book of glory: revelation through teaching, revelation through death and resurrection, restoration of peter. Appendix: no parables/short stories, no exorcisms, no birth stories, frequently in judea and jerusalem, 3 year ministry. Distinctive features: who is jesus, how does he relate to god, high christology. Resurrection and the life: jesus" humanity. Jesus weeps: christian in community, sacraments, eternal life now, opponents of jesus = the jews, church was a breakaway religious movement.
