Tesario 2

Tesario 2: Apostolic origin and historical value of the Gospels according to Dei Verbum. Content and composition of the three synoptic gospels and of the Acts of the Apostles. Presentation and commentary on some chosen passages. On the apostolic origin and historical value of the Gospels according to Dei Verbum, don't fail to read DV chapter 3 paragraphs 18 & 19.

On the content and composition of the three Synoptic Gospels and Acts, the book of Fr. Raymond Brown, Introduction to the New Testament is a good source. Review also your Synoptics-Acts notes--You may begin with the usual 5 W's and 1 T: Who is the author? When was the gospel written? Where was the gospel written? Why was the gospel written [audience]? What is the gospel all about?--for this last question you deal with in general with the content or the structure [literary outline] of the gospel. The capital T is the theology of each of the evangelist, especially his Christology (Who is Jesus for Mark, etc? What did Jesus do? What is Jesus' message?).

Note that Luke-Acts is considered as one presentation. You may also read the special introductions in commentaries on the gospels like the the ones in the Sacra Pagina series.
For quick over-view of these, you can go to site of Fr. Felix Just, SJ. We have also the audio of lecture of Fr. Felix Just in our library entitled: "New Testament: A Guided Tour." We have also the audio lectures with detailed study guides (nowyouknowmedia.com) on Matthew by Fr. Donald Senior, CP; Mark by Fr. John Donahue, SJ; Luke by Sr. Barbara Reid, OP; and John by Fr. Donald Senior, CP. Just ask Albert, our library staff.

For the chosen passages, you select to explain in an exegetical way one pericope from each Gospel = three pericopae at the minimum. You may use here your exegesis paper from your notes in our Synoptics classes. You can also visit some of our class notes posted here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.
