Reflection/Discussion Questions

• Do you have a different conclusion as to why Jesus’s statements about “blessed are the poor [in spirit]” (Matt 5:3; Luke 6:20) exist?
• If you’ve grown up reading the Bible, do you have a favorite gospel? Or even just a favorite Jesus story, even if you aren’t sure where in the Bible it is?
• Did the discussion of different sources for the gospels clear things up or make them more confusing?
• How does this lesson change or expand what you think of the process of “inspiration”?
• How are these ancient biographies different from what you might expect in a modern biography?
• What’s your reaction to the advice to “compare but don’t compile”?
