The Four Gospels: From Oral Tradition to Written Texts with Dr. Richard Rohrbaugh |
|||||
| DATE: Thursday Evenings March 20 - April 10, 2008 TIME: 7–8:30pm LOCATION: The Bishop Scott Room COST: $50 |
Register for this Class | |||||
| The written Gospels in our New Testament did not come into being until a generation or two after the lifetime of Jesus. Moreover, the preceding period of oral tradition did much to shape what we now have in the written texts. In this class we will trace the story of this transition from oral to written Gospels in order to learn what we can about the ways early Christians used and reflected on the traditions they received. We will follow the use of each Gospel into the second century when awareness of multiple gospels began to spread across the Church and the earliest outlines of a Canon began to emerge. |
