Last week we continued to discuss the passion narratives in the canonical Gospels, particularly the synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. A comparison of the canonical Gospel accounts will follow in week five when we get to the Gospel According to John.
Our topic for week III (March 10th) is the Lost Gospel of Peter. In preparation for our discussion, we will read the Raymond Brown translation (which can be found at http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/gospelpeter-brown.html ) and think about the following questions:
1. What part of this Gospel is also reflected in the canonical accounts?
2. What parts are new to our understanding of the suffering and death and resurrection of Christ?
3. In this narrative, who is responsible for the death of Jesus?
4. What is the Good News in this narrative?
Please join us to read, and reflect and respond!
