What is not true about the apostle Paul

He accepted the Roman God's and believed in polytheism

Name one of the Bible figures Jesus is compared to in Hebrews.

He is more glorious than angels. He brings a revelation superior to that of prophets. The salvation that Jesus brings is superior to that which Israel attained through the old covenant. He offers a superior sacrifice in a superior tabernacle and can be said to save people "completely."

How is Christ's sacrifice "superior" to the sacrifice of the Levitical priesthood, according to Hebrews?

He offers his own sinless blood, which is obviously a much greater sacrifice than the blood of sheep or goats. Christ has no beginning or end / once-for-all atonement. His sacrifice will save all.

Psalm 118:22

He will be rejected

Why could Jesus not have been born in Quirinius' time?

MARK'S FAVORITE WORD IN HIS GOSPEL

IMMEDIATELY!!!!!

MARK'S KEY WORD

IMMIEDIATELY.

Corporate personality

Idea that in ancient Israel the identity of an individual was bound up in the community. An individual could stand up for a group.

JB Lightfoot

Ignatius, Clemente, and Polycarp destroyed Baur's hypothesis; no conflict between Jewish and Gentile church.

Scribes

Interpreted and taught the law...most closely affiliated w/Pharisees...responsible for writing and keeping records for the people

The location of the temple cleansing

In the synoptics the temple cleansing is the last public act of Jesus' ministry and is the final straw, while in John it is the first. In John's Gospel, the final straw is the resurrection of Lazarus.

Comparison/contrast points with Synoptics

Introduction - Stated above. Chronology - Synoptics talk about one journey to Jerusalem - John talks about three. The portrayal of Jesus - John leaves out significant synoptic events. In addition to John's assumption of familiarity with the typical synoptic account, it may be that John is interacting with other Christian tradition; EX: Last Supper - foot washing. Language is concrete yet abstract in John; Jesus characteristically introduces significant pronouncements with "amen, amen" or "truly, truly." He also uses declarations of "I am" repeatedly throughout the Gospel in a manner quite distinct from the synoptics. In a sense, Jesus' "I Am" statements replace the parables of the kingdom in the synoptics.

THIS BOOK HAS 5 MAIN TEACHING SECTIONS

MATTHEW

Evidence for dating James

It has such a simple self-designation of authorship in 1:1. The fact that "James" does not need to further specify which James he is implies his prominent position in the early church. James' deep integration of Jesus-tradition, which does not appear to be directly derived from one of the Gospels, would also lend weight to an early date. Another factor is the Jewish influence and vantage point of the letter itself, which would be in harmony with its Jerusalem origins. There is the fact that James appears to have an exclusively Jewish focus. James is one of the few New Testament documents that do not address the problems, which Gentiles posed to the emerging church.

U2's song "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" reflects a main theme in 1 Peter. What is this main theme, and how does 1 Peter articulate it?

It was based on the writers conviction as a Christian that the longings of the human soul can never be satisfied by the pleasures that this earthly world affords. We long for Christ and His love. Christians who have put their trust and hope in Christ can never be at home on Earth.

What was the cause of change of the Galatian people?

The Introduction to John's Gospel

John begins his narrative on a cosmic stage. Jesus' significance is universal and cosmic. John is clearly alluding to the beginning of the entire biblical narrative in Genesis. By doing so, John underscores Jesus' preexistence and divinity. John does not speak of virgin birth or of birth by the Holy Spirit, or even of birth at all. Rather, John uses language, which is more in keeping with a revelation or manifestation of God in flesh. John engages both a Jewish understanding of the role of Wisdom as God's agent in creation as well as Jewish Hellenistic philosophy's concept of "Logos" or "word." His focus in all of this is Jesus' divine nature, almost to the exclusion of any discussion of his humanity, though the later is quite clear in John.

Issues addressed

The Rise of Apocalyptic - rather than a literary genre, engage it as a worldview or religio-political orientation. It strives to make sense of the present situation within the context of an alternative perspective and expanded horizon. It provides an expanded vision from which to make sense of present ambiguities, addressing what sort of people God's own should be as they await the resolution of the current turmoil. Dualism - Thinking in terms of temporal dualisms no doubt contributed to a heightened focus and reflection on resurrection during this period. Jesus and Apocalyptic in the NT: Continuity and Discontinuity - In Jesus' teaching many apocalyptic themes were taken for granted (the two ages, the imminence of the end, the triumphant Son of Man, and the resurrection). Jesus' pronouncement of the fulfillment of time transformed apocalyptic eschatology and end-time expectation. With Jesus' announcement of the arrival of the kingdom the relation of the present to the future was altered and there is a near collapse of the dualisms. Though Christian apocalyptic engages traditional apocalyptic categories and genre features, the system has been altered. The Genre Issues - Stated above.

II Thess: Occasion

There is continued eschatological confusion among the Thessalonians. Concerned that they have missed the 2nd coming.

Issues addressed in James

There is little external textual evidence for the influence of James in other Christian documents. If James were written early it would have ample time to have been circulated widely in Christian circles. There is no evidence of quotation or dependence on James until later in the second century. Also, James was written in a very polished Greek rhetorical style. Would James the brother of Jesus have written in this way? Some have countered these arguments by underscoring that James, as spokesperson for the Jerusalem church, would have had time to develop in this capacity or followed the prevalent use amanuenses, scribes with rhetorical training who had input on shaping the final form of letters.
