We've all heard the stories: the Holy Family gathered in the manger, the three ■wise men bearing gifts, the shepherds watching their flocks, the star of ■Bethlehem. For many of us the Bible stories of Jesus' birth may be even more ■familiar than our own! But if you look closely, you'll see that there are some real ■differences among the birth narratives in the gospels. In this study, we'll examine ■what those differences are and consider the implications for Christians today.

Sometimes Christian films or liturgies about the crucifixion harmonize the Gospel ■accounts. That is, they combine details from all four to create a single, composite ■narrative. The problem with harmonizing is it creates a depiction that does not ■exist in any single Gospel in the Bible. We'll explore those differences in this study.

Colossians

How do we account for the differences between Matthew, Mark, Luke and ■John's telling of Jesus' resurrection? Given their differences, can some of them ■be wrong? Our goal in this lesson is to examine ways in which the Bible's ■accounts of Jesus' burial and resurrection vary, consider why this is so, and ■explore the implications for Christians today.
Four Accounts of Jesus' Resurrection 
By Ted V. Foote, Jr.
The account of Jesus' burial and resurrection is found in all four Gospels and mentioned by Paul. While all accounts affirm his resurrection, they differ in various degrees. What do Christians believe about these differences, and what do we mean when...

Galatians reminds us of a time when the earliest followers of Christ struggled to ■define what exactly made a person a Christian. Paul addresses circumcision, ■dietary regulations and observance of Sabbath and festivals--irreversible ■commitments expected by the law of Moses--and argues about the Law's ■relevance for Gentile Christians.
Galatians 
By Matthew L. Skinner
Paul's Letter to the Galatians is simple and complex. Simple, because it focuses on a single objective, telling its original readers that God's actions through Jesus Christ are decisive and sufficient. Complex, because Paul's train of thought can be ...
