Mark 1-8 | Instant Homework Solutions

As we have seen in previous weeks, the Gospels are remarkably similar in many respects, displayed in our harmony study. At the same time, as redaction criticism has shown, each Gospel offers a distinctive portrait of Christ, presenting unique themes, events, and structure. First, we will explore Mark 1–8. To learn about the distinctive contributions of each Gospel is important for any theologian. Read and watch the following resources in order to better understand the first portion of Mark’s Gospel: Mark 1–8 Strauss, Four Portraits, One Jesus, pages 213–228, 240–257 Green, Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels, “Chreia (Links to an external site.)” Green, Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels, “Authority and Power (Links to an external site.)” Green, Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels, “Clean and Unclean (Links to an external site.)” After reading and viewing, find or create an image that you think connects to 1 of the articles in the Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels. Post your image/picture. Next, state the article and a 1-sentence description or summary of that article. Finally, explain in 2–3 sentences how the image/picture reflects the concept in the article that you have chosen. For your replies, review what your classmates saw in the unique images they have posted. Then, reply to at least 2 others with the new ideas you have gained from seeing the image they selected and shared. Discuss with one another how the use of these images has helped to shape your thinking and revealed new concepts/connections.
