Questions from 11/12/2006

Here are the questions that emerged from the November 12th session. We'll flesh out these points as we either have more to write here or links to recommend the class.

Questions

• What of the "Q" source? There is a theory that a source outside of the Gospel of Mark supplied some of the information found in Matthew and Luke. Read the article linked above, and let us know if you have any other questions.
  
• Per Richard, a good reference on the canon of scripture is a book by Bruce Metzger. However, I missed the title (my bad - I'll ask Richard).
  
• Richard is going to flesh out what he talked about the Canon (wasn't in PowerPoint). Watch for another post and we'll work that in.
  
• Book of Enoch referenced in Jude. Why does Jude refer to a book (The Book of Enoch) we now considered not rising to the level of inspiration required for canonization? We had some discussion of this in class, and we'll probably continue this again in a later class.
  
• Fate of the Unevangelized - how much do we have to know? I believe Richard said we would touch on this more later.
  
• What do we mean by Evangelical? I'm again going to defer to Richard on the definition he gave after class.
