“In my own case, as I deliberated about serving my Lord God which I had long been disposed to do, the self which willed to serve was identical with the self which was unwilling. It was I.

Time Period(1033-1109)

Section: 4th Section

A

“For God will not do it, because he has no debt to pay; and man will not do it, because he cannot. Therefore, in order that the God-man may perform this, it is necessary that the same being should perfect God and perfect man, in order to make this atonement. For he cannot and ought not to do it, unless he be very God and very man”

Q

Epistle of Barnabas (130)

A

“For it says, ‘Abraham circumcised eighteen and three hundred men from his household.’ What knowledge, then, was given to him? Notice that first he mentions the eighteen and then, after a pause, the three hundred. The number eighteen [in Greek] consists of an iota [J], 10, and an eta [E], 8. There you have Jesus . And because the cross was about to have grace in the letter tau [T], he next gives the three hundred, tau. And so he shows the name Jesus by the first two letters, and the cross by the other”

17
Q

Author: Augustine (430)

Title: On Christian Teaching

Unit: 1

A

“So in this mortal life we are like travellers away from our Lord [2 Cor. 5:6]: if we wish to return to the homeland where we can be happy we must use this world [cf 1 Cor. 7:31], not enjoy it, in order to discern ‘the invisible attributes of God, which are understood through what has been made’ [Rom. 1:20] or, in other words, to derive eternal and spiritual value from corporeal and temporal things”

18
Q

Text: 1 Cor 12:22-25 (ca 50)

Author: Paul

Unit: 2

A

“On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.”

19
Q

Author: Luther

Date: 16th Century

Text: A Brief Introduction to What to Look for and Expect from the Gospels

Unit: 1

A

“The chief article an foundation for the gospel is that before you take Christ as an example, you accept and recognize him as a gift, as a present that God has given you and that is your own. This means that when you see or hear of Christ doing or suffering, you do not doubt that Christ himself, with his deeds and suffering, belongs to you.”

20
Q

Text: Acts of the Apostles 1:8 (ca80)

Author: Believed to be same author as the Gospel of Luke

A

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

21
Q

Gospel of Peter (150-200)

A

“And the Lord cried out, ‘My power, O power, you have left me behind!” When he said this, he was taken up”

22
Q

Eusebius, Life of Constantine (340)

A

He judiciously considered these things for himself, and weighed well how those who had confided in a multitude of gods had run into multiple destruction, so that neither offspring nor shoot was left in them, no root, neither name nor memorial among mankind, whereas his father’s God had bestowed on his father manifest and numerous tokens of his power. He also pondered carefully those who had already campaigned against the tyrant. They had assembled their forces with a multitude of gods and had come to a dismal end:one of them had retreated in disgrace without striking a blow, while the other had met a casual death by assassination in his own camp. He marshalled these arguments in his mind, and concluded that it was folly to go on with the vanity of the gods which do not exist; and to persist in error in the face of so much evidence, and he decided he should venerate his father’s God alone”

23
Q

Text: Gospel of Mary (ca180) Ehrman

A

Peter said to Mary, Sister we know that the Savior loved you more than the rest of woman. Tell us the words of the Savior which you remember which you know, but we do not, nor have we heard them. Mary answered and said, What is hidden from you I will proclaim to you.

24
Q

Text: Mark 1:9-11

A

At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.10 Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son,whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”

25
Text: Proto-Gospel of James (ca150) Relevance: This text establishes that Mary the mother of Jesus was born of a virgin birth, and was protected from many evils growing up because her mother took her to live in the temple. This explains the thesis of the text to be that Mary is a miracle and a virgin, so that she could behold the Son of God when she conceives and gives birth to Jesus.
(7) And the priest welcomed her. Kissing her, he blessed her and said, "The Lord God has magnified your name for all generations; (8) through you the Lord will reveal deliverance to the children of Israel in the last days." (9) And he set her down on the third step of the altar and the Lord God poured grace upon her. (10) She danced triumphantly with her drinks and every house in Israel loved her.
26
Text: John 19:7 (ca120) Relevance: In John, Jesus is crucified the day before Passover as a symbolic Passover lamb. This reclaims the Jewish image, but shows them they read their OT wrong, to not see that Jesus is the Passover lamb. John takes Jewish rituals and brings Christian meanings to them.
"7 The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.”
27
Text: Revelation: 13:11-18 (ca90's/100's) Relevance: Knowledge has been hid intentionally in this text to avoid Christian persecution of the time, because new Christians did not participate in the Roman empire. In this quote, the beast is thought to be Nero the Roman emperor. Important because the text tells Christians that God knew their persecution was coming. Also interesting to consider that once historical context of a piece is lost, people reading it will reinterpret it to make sense of the text, like has been done with Revelation.
Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small,rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[a] That number is 666.
28
Text: Life of Constantine by Eusebius (ca340s) Relevance: Constantine is viewed as a Christian emperor but only for political reasons to gain power/support since the other 90% of the empire knew he was a usurper and was disliked. For this reason Constantine is metaphorically described similar to the Sun here, trying to receive Christian support. He didn't care what the Christians agreed upon, but deeply desired unity among the churches so that they would be unified in belief as his supporters, when he called for the Council of Nicaea in 325.
"Just as the sun rises and spreads the beams of its light over all, so also Constantine shone forth with the rising sun from the imperial palace, as though ascending with the heavenly luminary, and shed upon all who came before his face the sunbeams of his own generous goodness."
29
Text: The martyrdom of Saints Perpetua and Felicitas (ca170)
"And immediately as the contest was coming to a close a leopard was let loose, and after one bite Saturus was so drenched with blood that as he came away the mob roared in witness to his second baptism: 'Well washed! Well washed!' For well washed indeed was one who had been bathed in this manner"
30
Acts 15:13-14,19-20 Author: Luke Date: 80s Unit: 2
"After they finished speaking, James replied, 'My brothers, listen to me. Simeon [Peter] has related how God first looked favorably on the Gentiles, to take from among them a people for his name...Therefore I have reached the decision that we should not trouble those Gentiles [with circumcision] who are turning to God, but we should write to them to abstain only from things polluted by idols and from fornication and from whatever has been strangled and from blood."
31
Matthew 1:1 Date: 80s-90s Unit: 2 Sig: Messiah means "anointed one," and the purpose of the genealogy is to prove that Jesus is from a line of Kings and a King himself
"An account of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham."
32
St. Athanasius on the Incarnation (300) | As mentioned earlier, this means that God became man so that man could become God.
"He, indeed, assumed humanity that we might become God. He manifested Himself by means of a body in order that we might perceive the Mind of the unseen Father" (pg. 93).
33
Text: Gospel of Peter Author: Simon Peter (allegedly) Date: second century Unit: 2 Sig: emphasizes the spiritual resurrection where the spirit is larger than you can imagine because the body is no longer containing it --against the common Christian belief that the body is resurrected
"When the soldiers saw these things, they woke up the centurion and the elders--for they were also there on guard. As they were explaining what they had seen, they saw three men emerge from the tomb, two of them supporting the other, with a cross following behind them. The heads of the two reached up to the sky, but the head of the one they were leading went up above the skies. And they heard a voice from the skies, 'Have you preached to those who are asleep?' And a reply came from the cross, 'Yes" (p. 33).
34
Author: Augustine Books 3 & 4 Date: 430?
"We do not say Paul followed rhetorical rules; but neither do we deny that his wisdom was attended by eloquence" (p. 107)
35
Galatians 5:2-6 Author: Paul Unit: 2 Sig: Paul is saying that you cannot be saved by circumcision nor are you a better Christian because of it
"Listen! I, Paul, am telling you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you. Once again I testify to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obliged to obey the entire law. You who want to be justified by the law have cut yourselves [literally and figuratively] off from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. For through the Spirit, by faith, we eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything; the only thing that counts is faith working through love."
