Document Summary
Desired effect of the authors: literal method, allegorical method, mystical method, moral method, bible interpretation the (cont. "s) the gospel"s. Matthew and luke are based on mark and q (from the german word quelle = source). Matthew targets a jewish-christian audience, because jesus is presented as the second moses and. Luke targets a gentile audience, because it speaks in universal terms. Jesus is the eternal son and logos (or word) of god, the incarnate god on earth. There are also apocryphal (or secret) gospels attributed to thomas, peter, mary magdalene, philip, and even judas most of them come from gnostic circles and are later. The evangelists, along with their symbols in iconography from the book of kells (image), are: Matthew the evangelist, symbolized by a man, to represent the human nature of christ. Mark the evangelist, symbolized by a lion, to represent christ as king.
