Re: Authorship of the Gospels
now... do i personally think that the 4 named Gospellers were among 12 unnamed people who did a lot of road trips with Christ, and some not, and who may be archtypes for the 12 tribes of israel? Baha'u'llah That, firestorm, was certainly a refreshing portrayal of the issue. One would think that the standard for textual exegeses would recognise the Quran'ic standard. Certainly in their histories is an example for men of understanding. This is no new tale of fiction, but a confirmation of previous scriptures, and an explanation of all things, and guidance and mercy to those who believe. (The Qur'an (Rodwell tr), Sura 12 - Joseph, Peace be on Him) To me the suggestion is that the succeeding Revelation presents all from the previous Revelations that is relevant to today's issue which is the acceptance of the revelation for the day.

Authorship of the Gospels
Baha'u'llah wrote: The Four Gospels were written after Him [Christ]. John, Luke, Mark and Matthew - these four wrote after Christ what they remembered of His utterances. (From a previously untranslated Tablet) This passage seems to say that all four of the Gospel writers were disciples and that the common attributions of authorship are correct. The Gospels were written by disciples based on their memory of what Jesus said. I have long assumed that though Baha'u'llah said this He didn't really mean it, but I have no proof of that. I have to imagine there are others here who don't believe that the Gospels were written by disciples. So I'm interested to know how people deal with this passage. I'm not sure why Baha'u'llah would say this if He didn't believe it. It appears to be something He said in response to a question. I certainly have difficulty seeing the Gospels as penned by disciples based on their recollections. My view on the dating of the Gospels would make it unlikely that they were still alive. Also, it's difficult to believe that the Gospels are entirely based on their memories of what Jesus said given the propensity of the Gospel writers to make what appear to be intentional editorial changes. Matthew usually changes 'kingdom of God' to 'kingdom of heaven,' and I don't think that was because Matthew's memory was off. The only other statement regarding authorship is by 'Abdu'l-Baha: Know ye that the Torah is that which was revealed in the Tablets to Moses, may peace be upon Him, or that to which He was bidden. But the stories are historical narratives and were written after Moses, may peace be upon Him. (From a previously untranslated Tablet) His indication that Moses Himself didn't write the Pentateuch seems reasonable to me.

Re: Authorship of the Gospels
Even for fundamentalists or traditionalist Christians, Luke and Mark weren't actually of the 12. And If you read the beginnings of Luke, even the author doesn't claim that his work is an eyewitness account. I wonder if you might be assuming too much about the meaning of the words. If A tells B something. And B passes the message to C. And C writes down what they remembers of A's words that doesn't mean C ever met A. -Gilberto On 6/19/06, David Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Baha'u'llah wrote: The Four Gospels were written after Him [Christ].

Dear David, The passage says nothing about them being disciples. Mark and Luke were not discples, for instance. It's true that Baha'u'llah is not challenging the common attribution of these Gospels, but I doubt if that is even an issue for Him. The Gospels were written by disciples based on their memory of what Jesus said. Again, you are inserting the word 'disciples' which is not in the text. But we know Jesus' sayings were carried down orally before they were written down. No scholar challenges this that I know of, except those that want to deny Jesus' very existence. warmest, Susan The information contained in this e-mail and any attachments thereto (e-mail) is sent by the Johnson County Community College (JCCC) and is intended to be confidential and for the use of only the individual or entity named above.
