Which gospel is your favorite?

[The Remonstrant]

I like all the gospels, even the gospel of Thomas, but Mark is my favorite because of its dramatic force and unity of vision, which nonetheless expects the reader's faith to carry on the story.

You may enjoy Joel B. Green's The Way of the Cross: Following Jesus in the Gospel of Mark (Eugene, OR: Wipf and Stock Publishers, 2009). (I believe it is a reprint edition of an earlier work.)

Thanks, I've read a little bit of his 2-volume commentary on Mark. He does a good job of placing Mark in his Jewish Hellenistic milieu.

John...mainly for the parable of the man born blind and the upper room discourse.

Another late night and rushed post. I mean, of course, the story in John 9.

Where's the gospel of Thomas?

j/k

I selected Matthew largely because I have seen the progression or structure of Matthew as it relates to Jesus' role as a prophet to Judea.

I picked the gospel of John, by reason it was, as I see it, the first gospel tract. It tells plainly how to and who can have eternal life.

Of the Synoptic Gospels, it is between Mark and Luke. Luke for over all order of events. Mark for details and of the last Passover leading up to the crucifixion and resurretion of Christ. I like the disputed long ending attributed to Mark.
