Harmonizing the Gospels

A quick word to help explain what considerations of mine go into putting all four Gospel accounts of the Resurrection together.

I believe we have to allow writers to tell a story their way. It’s important to note that the Bible records this story as any of us might tell a story. For instance, I could tell you that I went to a Christian conference in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and while I was there, I interviewed a protester who was a member of the Free Thinkers club at the University of Arkansas.

What I just wrote is a true statement. However, I didn’t include all the details I could have.

Stinkin’ Hypocrites

I have a million things to do, and … uh…. like 3 hours to get it all done, including a trip to a nearby city. So yeah, it’s one of those days, so this isn’t a huge essay or anything. I was just thinking a little bit as I drove to a mid-morning meeting, and reflecting on my life, Christianity in general and the reality of things.

By the way, I always have three points. It’s like all the years of teaching and public speaking have seared a permanent impression of three bullet points into my brain… You know, the same thing that happens to a television or monitor if an image stays in one place for a day and a half.

Enough rambling. I was thinking about hypocrites.
