Not really surprised me, but this has sparked interest into going deeper. The biographical form is interesting, but for Greek literature this isn’t a classic tragic story, because the ending is so great.

In the introduction of how scholars through the ages have viewed the gospel, it at first surprised me how the lecturer introduces the nuances of English literature. Besides being a biography, the gospel can be classified as a tragedy or as a comedy! This is not in Chinese literature; a Chinese wouldn’t have classified it as such. A Chinese might have classified it as a classical piece of fiction, akin to the Romance of the Red Chamber.

How might what you learned in this lecture change how you read Scripture?

The idea of each paragraph teaching about Jesus is good, yes we do learn of the other players in this story as the speaker said, but they do poi not us back to Jesus. The OT does explain a lot of the character of Jesus as well.

I learn to read it according to its themes, and not necessarily chronologically. If every passage is a “gospel”, a story of Jesus, I can break it up as such during devotional times and ask what story each passage tells.
