The gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are interesting to think about and how they relate to each other. I never even realized that there has been so much research, study, and opinions about what order they are in chronologically, and also how they basically copied information from each other. What was particularly interesting to me was how the Gospel of John is so different from the others: from the difference in setting, chronology, and even the dialogue and wording. The book uses words like “Father”, “I” and “The Father” significantly more times than the other gospels, except for “Kingdom”, which he uses much less. Learning about all of this in the readings and in class amazes me that there is so much scholarly dissection of the Bible, which I never realized before taking this class.
