NT312 The Gospels and Ancient Pedagogy is unavailable, but you can change that!

The Gospels are 2000-year-old texts, so as you read them it is important to understand the ancient genre they represent. In this course, Evans surveys the Gospels, discusses issues of text criticism, and explains ancient teaching methods so you understand not only what Jesus taught, but how he taught it and why his lessons are recorded as they are across the Gospel texts.

Very likely, Jesus spoke, preached, taught all day long. So what we have, then, is a summary, a distillation, a selection of teachings crafted together as a single speech. But even if there was selectivity and a little bit of creative composition, the ancient historian always knew that truth was the goal.
