I have enjoyed the presentation so far. They have been interesting and the presenters did a good job summarizing their chapters. I think Nicolette’s was especially good and brought up the discussion on who really wrote some of the books of the Bible. The discussion that followed was in line with what my thoughts were concerning the subject. I have often wondered why there were four Gospels that for the most part repeat the stories and life of Jesus. With the introduction of the time line of the Gospels by James Carroll was also intriguing to me. Why are the gospels not in chronological order by date written? Also how accurate are the stories since there is a good time line between writings. Was there more word of mouth and non-accurate accounts of the stories as they were passed from one person to another? It makes sense to me that the original writer did not combine the stories and print one Gospel
