Q

point out two problems that some recent scholars have found with redaction criticism

A
  1. examining how a redactor has changed a source will not necessarily give a complete account of what he or she considered to be important

–> the redactor has actually made two kinds of decisions: not only about what to change but also about what to keep

  1. the redactional method has been raised with even greater vigor

–> it is necessarily built on assumptions about an author’s sources; if these assumptions are found to be false, then the entire method collapses on itself

Q

do Mark and Matthew have the same genealogies of Jesus?

what are the important differences?

A

nah bruv

  1. not the same genealogy overall (only have David in common)
  2. Unlike Matthew’s genealogy, Luke’s does not occur where you might expect, in the narrative of Jesus’ birth, but after his baptism
  3. Jesus’ human lineage goes far beyond the legendary Jewish figures, it goes back to the man responsible for the human race itself, Adam

–> Luke’s is important in showing that he belongs to all people, both Jews and Gentiles

Q

The difference between Mark and Luke when it comes to Jesus having to die

A

In Mark, Jesus predicts that he is soon to die and at one point he even explains why it is necessary

Q

Jesus’ Death in Luke

A

In Luke’s Gospel the curtain is torn in half, not after Jesus breaths his last, but earlier, when darkness comes upon the land as the light of the sun fails

–> God has entered into judgment with his people as symbolized by this destruction within the Temple

–> Jesus himself pro- claims to his enemies among the Jewish authorities that “this is your hour and the power of dark- ness”

Jesus dies the death of a righteous martyr who has suffered from miscarried justice; his death will be vindicated by God at the resurrection

Q

what is the difference between what the centurion in charge of the crucifixion of Jesus says in both Mark and Luke?

A

Mark: “Truly this man was God’s Son”

Luke: “Certainly this man was innocent”

19
Q

for Luke, is Jesus saving both Jews and Gentiles at first?

compare to Mark and Matthew

A

For Luke, salvation comes to the Jewish people in fulfillment of the Jewish Scriptures

–> since they reject it, the message goes to the Gentiles

For Mark and Matthew, salvation in Jesus comes to all people

20
Q

the difference between the apocalypse for Mark and Luke

A

In Mark and Matthew, as we saw, Jesus predicts the imminent end of the world

In Luke, Jesus does not envisage the end of the age happening immediately

–> Christian church had to be spread among the Gentiles, and this would take time

21
Q

our earliest account of the Christian church

A

the Acts of the Apostles

22
Q

the Acts of the Apostles literary genre

A

general history

23
Q

The aspect of limited objectivity when studying ancient historical texts

A

historians are compelled to pick and choose what to mention and what to describe as significant

the choose according to their own values, beliefs, and priorities

we can almost always assume that a historian has narrated events in a way that encapsulates his or her understanding of the meaning of those events

24
Q

Is it plausible that the two volumes of Luke’s work represent two distinct genres?

A

yes

25
Q

the three ways we analyzed the gospels before the acts?

A

a literary-historical method with Mark

redactional method with Matthew,

a comparative method with Luke

26
Q

the approach to analyze the acts

A

the thematic method

27
Q

the thematic method

A

attempts to isolate the author’s major ideas that he or she tries to communicate in writing

we try to understand the author’s overarching emphases

The focus is on the themes themselves and the ways they are developed throughout the work

28
Q

who is the acts of apostles dedicated to?

A

Theophilus

29
Q

the main character in the acts of apostles

A

Paul

30
Q

the major themes in he acts of apostles

A

the focus on Jerusalem

the proclamation of the gospel beginning with the Jews but moving to the Gentiles

the necessary delay of the end while this worldwide proclamation takes place

perhaps most importantly, the divine guidance of the Christian mission by the Holy Spirit

31
Q

who delivers the first speech in the book of apostles?

what does he say?

A

Peter

he says that so far, the Christian movement is a fulfillment of the Jewish Scriptures

God is behind the whole movement

we gotta elect a replacement for Judas

meant to persuade the believers to engage in a particular course of action (replace Judas)

32
Q

who replaces Judas as the 12th apostle

A

Matthias

33
Q

The Pentecost speech

A

immediately follows the coming of the Holy Spirit

the followers of Jesus begin to speak in foreign languages that none of them has previously learned

34
Q

when is Paul arrested? and where? what is the context basically?

A

Paul is arrested in Jerusalem while making an offering in the Temple

was meant to show that he was in no way opposed to the Law of Moses

35
Q

why is nothing done to release Paul?

A

Every time Paul defends himself in these chapters, the ruling authorities have ample opportunity to recognize his innocence

either because of a desire for a bribe (Felix), or as a favor to the Jewish leaders (Festus), or because of Paul’s appeal to Caesar (Festus and Agrippa), nothing is done to release him

36
Q

the characteristic themes of Paul’s apology

A

(a) he has done nothing against the Jewish people or Jewish customs, but on the contrary continues to subscribe in every way to the religion of Judaism
(b) he was found to be innocent by the Roman authorities
(c) his current problems are entirely the fault of recalcitrant Jewish leaders

37
Q

The Identity of the Author of Luke and Acts

A

occasionally speaks in the first person

does not happen in the Gospel of Luke, but it does occur in four passages that describe Paul’s journeys in Acts

the stress on the Gentile mission in Acts, in which Gentiles don’t have to become Jews in order to be Christians, suggests that the author was himself a Gentile

38
Q

was Paul a gentile or a Jew

A

certainly a Jew

39
Q

who is theophilus 😳😳😳?

A

Theophilus means friend of god

–> meant for early believers, meant to bolster their faith, need the encouragement because Nero who was the current emperor was persecuting them

Theophilus may represent a highly placed Roman administrator

Theophilus could be a symbolic name

–> He’s addressing his messages to the Christians, “the beloved of God”

40
Q

what type of texts are the three main gospels we’ve seen so far?

A

greco-roman biography

41
Q

explain why Luke emphasized Christianity’s connection with Judaism

A

Jesus was a Jew, sent from a Jewish God as a Jewish Prophet to the Jewish people in fulfillment of the Jewish scriptures

42
Q

identify the key theological and Christological emphasis in Mark

A

the Superhuman power of Jesus

Omits most of Jesus’ lectures

–> Narrates things Jesus did (such as dying for the sins of the people) rather than things Jesus said

Jesus is the Messiah

43
Q

identify the key theological and Christological emphasis in Matthew

A

Jesus is the Messiah (King of Jews) foretold by Old Testament Prophets

focuses on Jesus’ genealogy and repeatedly quotes the Old Testament

44
Q

identify the key theological and Christological emphasis in Luke

A

special emphasis is the humanity of Jesus

the Son of God, prophet sent by God to his people, a spokesperson or messenger from God to his people

kindness toward the weak, the suffering and the outcast
