The document discusses the formation of the Gospels and proclaiming Jesus' message. It explains that the Gospels were formed in 3 stages: the period immediately after Jesus' resurrection when the apostles preached; the apostles traveled and spread the faith; and the Gospels were written down due to the death of witnesses and need for a permanent record. Students are assigned activities to study Gospel passages daily for a week and create a portrait of Jesus summarizing what they learned about him.

Luke emphasizes Jesus' compassion and his uplifting of the oppressed. John emphasizes Jesus as the Son of God and his unique relationship with God the Father.
the church
The document discusses what the Church is. It states that the Church is the mystical body of Christ, established by God on earth to gather humanity to divine life in heaven. It notes that God desires all the faithful to be united to him and one another in the mystical body. The Church is the instrument for the salvation of all. It also discusses the four marks of the Church - that it is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. Jesus Christ founded the Church and gave authority to the apostles and St. Peter to govern it.
Apostles Creed
The Apostles' Creed is divided into 12 sections or articles that outline key beliefs of Christianity. The first article states belief in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

The old and new testament
The document provides an overview of the differences between the Old Testament and New Testament. It notes that the Old Testament was given only to the nation of Israel, was not a perfect covenant, and included requirements like observing the Sabbath and tithing. The New Testament replaced the Old Testament, was given to all nations, and no longer requires following specific laws, but rather being judged by the words of Jesus. The Old Testament served its purpose in leading people to Christ but is now nailed to the cross, while Christians today live under the New Testament.
salvation history
Salvation history is the progressive unfolding of God's plan to save humanity from sin and death after the Fall. This plan involves a series of covenants and promises from God to figures like Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and the prophets, all preparing for the coming of Jesus Christ. Key promises included preserving life (Noah), establishing a chosen people and blessing the world (Abraham), giving the law and bringing them to the Promised Land (Moses), and founding an everlasting kingdom (David). The deeper reason for these promises was to prefigure Christ, who would bring full and final salvation.

The Four Gospels
• The “Gospel” of Jesus: The Kingdom of God/Heaven is here
• The “Gospel” of disciples: Jesus, raised from the dead, is the
Messiah
• The “Gospel” of Paul: Jesus, killed and raised from the dead, is
the Messiah for all – Jews and non-Jews.
• The “Gospel” of the Evangelists: Jesus is the Messiah, as can be
witnessed by His life.

The Four Gospels
Catholic tradition:
Matthew = Angel – the
human side of Jesus
Mark = Lion – the royal
side of Jesus
Luke = Ox – the
sacrificial side of Jesus
John = Eagle – the
spiritual side of Jesus
More accurately from the perspective of the meaning of the books:
Matthew – Jesus as the fulfilled Jewish Messiah
Mark – Jesus as the humble Son of Man
Luke – Jesus as the Saviour of both Jews and non-Jews
John – Jesus as God and Saviour of the World
The Four Gospels
• The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke
• They have similar stories of Jesus recorded, but there are slight
differences about the content.
• The “synoptic problem” is to understand why there are different
versions of Jesus’ stories (e.g. for Mark’s stories where there is
one person, in Matthew there are often more than two)
• The synoptic problem gave rise to critical studies of the Gospels:
form criticism, source criticism, and redaction criticism
The Synoptic Gospels
• Form criticism – tries to understand the Gospel stories as
individual “flowing” stories, especially in its oral tradition form
• Source criticism – tries to understand the Gospel stories as
original written sources, which gives rise to the 2-Source and 4-
Source hypotheses.
• Redaction criticism – tries to understand how the Evangelists
made use of the written sources, as a redactor (editor).

The Synoptic Problem
4-Source Hypothesis
The Synoptic Problem
The Synoptic Problem
• There were other “gospel” accounts of Jesus in existence, but the
most reliable and widely used/quoted Gospel books are these four
• The Church was very well aware of the synoptic problem when
they decided to include all of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, showing
that they felt it more important to have differences in the accounts
of Jesus, than neglecting any one of these Gospel books.
• The “problem” can in large part be understood by the translated
nature of the Gospel books, as well as the Evangelists’ editorial
selection process and purposes.
The Synoptic Problem
• Most believe it was the earliest Gospel book written, though it
likely came after the earlier of Paul’s works.
• Some of the evidence is that Mark is the shortest among the 4
Gospel books, and when it comes to sentences that the Synoptic
Gospels share, Mark’s version is usually the simplest and most ...

Successful disciples throughout history overcame doubts and obstacles by following their inner voice in fulfilling God's providence.
