Discussion: development of the synoptic tradition
Please use: readings (Jesus -Marcus Borg) and the biblical texts parenthetically (Mark 2:4-8)
Describe the development of the synoptic tradition by describing Mark's context and purpose and then showing how Matthew and Luke revise the Markan text--according to their own contexts and purposes. What are the key factors in the first century that shape this development. Show, by reference to the texts, not just the Ludwig essays, how "gospels update."
