St. Paul Center Course

The Evangelists

Presented by

Dr. John Bergsma

About the course

This introductory course on the Four Evangelists, who wrote the Gospels, will discuss the author, date, and place of composition; the literary structure; and the contents of the narrative of each Gospel. A key theme in this course is the observation of unique features that distinguish each Gospel from the other three. Finally, we dive deeply into a few “signature” passages of each Gospel, reading them closely for their message to us today.
