The stages of transmission from the earliest Hebrew biography of Jesus to the canonical Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke.
The Lord’s Prayer 3: “Hallowed Be Thy Name”
How can the name of God be “hallowed”? Actually, the sense of the word might better be expressed in English by “sanctify.” The whole phrase could be translated, “May your name be sanctified.”
At the Feet of a Sage
Jewish sages and their disciples were dependent upon the hospitality of the communities they visited.
Hebrew Nuggets, Lesson 11: Hallelujah (Part 3)
Last of the three-part series on the Hebrew word “Hallelujah.”
Discovering Longer Gospel Stories
Research by Robert L. Lindsey has helped clarify the process by which gospel texts were preserved and transmitted. Luke desired, he said in his prologue, to present to Theophilus an “orderly” account. Such ordering is to be noted in Matthew and Mark, as well. These attempts at ordering help us understand why so many of the synoptic gospel stories appear in a different chronological order from gospel to gospel.
