Description

The shape of a narrative is as important as its content. Seeing the four gospels merely as collections of isolated ethical demands or theological propositions robs them of much of their transformative power. This lecture, presented at the 2014 Regent College Open House, suggests that the two fundamental vistas of the Synoptics (Matthew, Mark Luke) and of John - go back to Jesus himself.
