ENCORE 29. Markan Priority
May 18, 2024 - 10 min
The hypothesis that the Gospel of Mark was the first of the three synoptic gospels to be written, and was used as a source by the other two (Matthew and Luke), is known as Markan Priority. In recent times, some skeptics have said the four canonical Gospels were written so late after Jesus, they aren't reliable. Tradition, Church teaching, and historical sources teach us much about when the original texts were actually penned.

101. Jerusalem
May 14, 2024 - 10 min
Christianity has a close bond with the city of Jerusalem, the Historical Jesus walked its streets and entered its building. It was in this holy city that at eight days of age, he was dedicated in the Great Temple according to Jewish custom. As a man from Nazareth, he preached at the Temple and eventually was arrested, detained, tried, crucified and buried in the city. After his death, his followers believed he rose from the dead, and the community they formed eventually became the early Christian Church, with its headquarters in Jerusalem. The ancient city has been ruled by many different empires over the past 3000 years, and has profound connections with the three great Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
