Description
The Gospels Behind the Gospels by Robert M. Price Innovative biblical scholar Robert M. Price explores a fascinating theory about the origins of the canonical gospels, suggesting that they may be the result of a later consolidation of earlier Jesus narratives from various communities. These communities had distinct understandings of Jesus, which are reflected in the different "Christologies" found in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Price delves into the possibility that these early communities were part of rival sects, with their own leaders and figureheads, such as Paul, Apollos, Cephas, and Christ. As these groups merged over time, their remaining followers came together to form the canonical gospels we know today. This new perspective on the gospels challenges our understanding of their composition and significance. By reassembling the puzzle pieces of earlier Jesus narratives, Price sheds new light on the development of Christian theology and practice. His groundbreaking work will change the way you read the gospels forever.
