Hodges INFULFILLMENT OF THE COURSE BI 602 NEW TESTAMENT BEULAH HEIGHTS UNIVERSITY ATLANTA, GEORGIA SPRING SEMESTER 2013 JAMES E.

They were important then because they are narratives about the life death and resurrection of Jesus. The three Gospels that “take a common view” of Christ’s life are Matthew, Mark and Luke. Each writer affords us a special look into the life and teachings of Christ in a different way. One may provide one detail, and another may provide a detail that adds to the account so that the Bible student is able to receive additional insights.
