A Brief Introduction to the Four Gospels
Led by Fr. Bill O’Shea
Mondays at 7- 8 pm
July 20 & 27, August 3 & 10 via Zoom

Have you ever found yourself watching a re-run to "Murder She Wrote" and realized, "I know who the murderer is!"?  Then you follow all the correct clues and are not misled by 'red herrings'. Well, in this four-week brief introduction to the Gospels, we are going start from the back, from the conclusions of each Gospel (one surprisingly seems to have two conclusions, another, in the view of many scholars, has none). The conclusion of the Gospel, like the conclusion of an episode of "Murder She Wrote" is about identity. Each Gospel is seeking to answer the question Jesus himself asked: "Who do you say that I am?"  But it also reveals another identity: "Who are you that is reading this writing?" We will proceed in reverse chronological order, beginning with John and ending with Mark. Please join us.​
