  5. What is in the Bible?? • If you have a Bible that does not have 73 books in it, it is not a Catholic Bible. • If it has 66 books, it belongs to one of the Protestant religions. • Non-Catholics have changed the words, removed verses that they did not agree with, etc...

  6. The Gospels • Matthew, Mark, and Luke are known as the synoptic gospels • John is considered separate as it has a different format and tells many different stories that are not in the first three gospels

  7. Women in the New Testament • Women are mentioned in all the gospels, but especially in Luke • Women are presented as wives, mothers, and disciples • The earliest and most devout followers of Jesus (Luke 8:1-3) • Often excluded from religious discussion until the arrival of Jesus (John 4:27) • Husbands and wives worked as missionary teams (Romans 16:1-15) • Teachings were directed towards “Brothers and Sisters”

  8. Influential Women in the NT • Elizabeth: Zechariah’s wife, mother of John the Baptist • Herodias: wife of Herod, persuaded her daughter to ask for John the Baptist's head • Mary: wife of Joseph, virgin mother of Jesus • Mary Magdalene: disciple of Jesus, first to hear of Jesus’ resurrection • Martha: sister of Mary and Lazarus, disciple of Jesus • Numerous unnamed women, important in parables and conversion stories. (John 4:4-42, Luke 10:38-42, John 11:1-44)

  9. Common Interpretations of Revelation • Idealist View: Sees the book as showing the spiritual battle between good versus evil. • Preterist View: Focuses on the first century fall of Jerusalem as the backdrop of the prophecies of this book • Historical View: Sees the prophecies as depicting the course of history in this age • Futurist View: Sees most of the events of the book as taking place in a time of future tribulation followed by the Second Coming

  10. The Apocrypha • “Hidden Writings” • Rejected by the Church for their “wrong teachings” • They do not claim divine inspiration • Rejected by the Jewish communities • Poor literary style • Contain significant historical errors • Non-Biblical Teachings • Suicide is good • Woman are second class • Prayers can save the dead
