Gospel Writing

Mehr zum Buch

The exploration of the four canonical gospels reveals that their differences offer rich opportunities for theological reflection rather than posing contradictions to faith. Francis Watson argues that the formation of these texts represents a pivotal moment in understanding early gospel literature and Jesus. The interplay among the gospels creates a complex textual entity, emphasizing their interconnectedness and transforming their meanings. Watson proposes a new paradigm for gospel studies that integrates noncanonical material to enhance the historical and theological significance of the canonical texts.
