I think most non-scripture scholars (myself included) find it interesting to learn something of the intrigue surrounding some of the Bible’s content.
As you may know, the bible is a collection of books whose content is inspired by God. However, God did not hand us a bible, all wrapped up in a bow, neatly packaged, and say, “Here, read this, it’s all you need.”
No, that’s not how it worked, but that would be a much longer discussion for another day.
If you have ever wondered where the bible came from, read Who Compiled the Bible and When which can be found by clicking on the article title. It’s very good.
But I digress.
What I would really like to recommend are two articles and a video about a very interesting biblical source called Q. Scholars are uncertain about whether this biblical source even existed, but they hypothesize that it may have.
Let me briefly explain.
Of the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, two of them—Matthew and Luke—have some parallel content, even though they were written independent of each other.
The question is, what did they use as a source for this content?
Because I do not have the space to go into all of this, I am
providing some actual resources that do exist that I thought you might really enjoy.
It's time to stretch your brain!
Please check these out, they are very good:
