Introduction: New Testament Theology

Part One: The Synoptic Tradition

  • The Synoptic tradition comprises the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke and, for the purposes of this work, the Acts of the Apostles
  • two-source hypothesis. That is, they assume that Mark is the earliest of the three Gospels and that Matthew and Luke, writing independently of each other, employed the Markan Gospel as their primary source as well as a collection of Jesus’ teachings commonly designated as “Q.”
  • Since Mark is the earliest of the three Gospels, written about A.D. 70, perhaps at Rome
  • Luke composed another work (the Acts of the Apostles), which is so closely related to his Gospel that scholars often speak of the whole work as “Luke–Acts
  • The theological analysis that follows has a twofold goal: (1) to present the message of Jesus as mediated through the Synoptic writers, and (2) to summarize the theological contribution of each evangelist.
  • Rather, presenting Jesus’ message from the perspective of resurrection faith, the Gospels call people to faith
  • to summarize the theological stance of each evangelist— is necessary because each evangelist recounts the story of Jesus from a particular vantage point.
  • the Gospel of Mark presents the gospel in light of the inbreaking kingdom of God, the Gospel of Matthew describes the righteousness the kingdom requires, and the Gospel of Luke highlights the age of salvation and the reversal of fortunes that the kingdom effects.
