MPhil JCGRW B2 Tutorial Topics: The Gospels and the Historical Jesus

  1. Is it possible to identify the aims of Jesus?
  2. How did we get the Gospels?
  3. Did Mark’s Gospel fail or succeed in its literary and theological purpose?
  4. Does Matthew’s Jesus want his church to observe the Torah?
  5. Is Luke the Gospel for the Poor?
  6. ‘Because God is killed, humanity can be exalted to divinity.’ Does this capture John’s understanding of Christ and the cross?
  7. To what extent is the Christology of the Gospels shaped by existing Messianic expectation?
  8. Can we Date the Four Gospels – and any of the Others?
