Overview
Each of the four gospels presents its own distinctive portrait of the life and teaching of Jesus, and the main aim of this course is to bring out the particular characteristics of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and to compare and contrast them with one another. The four canonical gospels were selected from a wider range of material about Jesus, and the course will look at surviving non-canonical texts such as the Gospel of Thomas and examine the reasons why some texts were included in the New Testament and others excluded. In addition, selected passages from the Gospel of Mark will be studied in more detail. This course can be taken in conjunction with DR 1026 or on its own.
