Thursday evening.....
It was awesome today to start the deep study of the Gospels or Canon of the New Testament. Dr.Powell's sense of humor helps at the early 8 a.m. start of the class each morning... even his text book is full of humor and hidden fun.
Today we took a close look at the relationship between Mark and Matthew - do you know why Matthew is first in the New Testament but Mark was authored before Mathew was? Simply put - the Roman Catholic church favors the Gospel of Matthew over any other, the Gospel of Matthew (not necessarily written by "Matthew") includes the most references to the church and Peter. The Gospel of Mark was written first and the foundation from which Matthew was authored.
I could share more - perhaps with another post - Im off to sneak into the building for some practise before our final hymn improvisation class in the morning and much looked forward weekend!
