The Gospels When were these gospels written? Were they only written after so much time had passed that legend and myth had developed around Jesus? Matthew – 80s AD Mark - 70s AD Luke – 80s AD John – 90s AD This is all within the lifetime of the eyewitnesses or shortly after their martyrdoms, and within 50 or so years of the life of Christ.

The message of the Gospels In addition, we know the main events were accepted long before: 1st Corinthians (55AD) 15: 3-8:

The message of the Gospels the First Creed In addition, we know the main events were accepted long before: 1st Corinthians (55AD) 15: 3-8: 3For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. 6After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. 7After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. 8Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.

Creeds were created and accepted before the writing of Scripture.

Creeds Basic statements of faith. Usually created in reaction to a perceived threat.

The Roman Empire Capitol moved to?

The Roman Empire in 400s Capitol moved to Constantinople in 300s

The Roman Empire in 400s Capitol moved to Constantinople in 300s West grew weak Christians don’t like to fight Empire divided

Western Empire invaded!

Empire by 500

Christianity in West Though the Empire in the West fell, Christianity and the papacy… United people Converted the conquerors (tending to make them less violent) Popes no longer could count on help from East, so they allied themselves w/ some barbarians.

Pope Leo, St Peter & St. Paul Attila the Hun Heads toward Rome…

Pope Leo, St Peter & St. Paul

Pope Leo, St Peter & St. Paul Attila turned around

Rome Pope Leo I (440 -461) Leo was called “the great” Most important accomplishment – And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatsoever thou shalt loose of earth shall be loosed in heaven. What is true of Peter is true also of his successors. Claims to be St. Peter’s successor & head of the universal Church. "The care of the universal Church should converge towards Peter's one seat, and nothing anywhere should be separated from its Head." Makes Bishop in Constantinople mad
