Bible Question: What are the backgrounds of Moses, Solomon, and the writers of the Psalms? Also, what are the backgrounds of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John? Does their background have an influence on the way they wrote their gospels? |
Bible Answer: Moses background is written in Exodus, Solomon in 1Kings. I suggest you read them (as the story is too long to retype). In brief, Moses was an adopted prince, and Solomon was the wisest man in the world, as well as king. Authors of the Psalms include David, Hezekiah, and many others. Mathew was a tax-collector, Mark was a friend of Peter, Luke was a doctor/researcher and a friend of Paul, and John was another desciple (the "desciple whom jesus loved"). The short answere is: their backgrounds effected the content and emphasis of events in their respective gospels. The long answere is: find several sources of study and research each; it will be well worth your time! |
