Document Summary
Rel std 5a lecture #14: gospel scholarship by phds. Reads as if these were an eye-witness account and as if someone was sitting there. Spot anachronisms within the text; similarities within the text. Late twentieth century is when these dates are occurring. Questions about whether or not to keep the jewish rules, when they are breaking away from judaism. Writers blame the jews for the exoneration of jesus (?) Seek corroboration of jesus in roman and jewish historians; can somebody else step up here and say what happened: jofesus mentions that jesus is the messiah; this is controversial because. *the christians are dehumanizing the jews to the romans. Textual method: date the existing physical copies of all gospels. Originals are lost so note discrepancies in all copies. *kephales: greek word meaning that man has is supreme over the woman. Ascertain if gospel writers borrowed from other sources.
