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 was a learned man having been brought up according to Egyptian civilization, he was a shephard at the back side of the deseart in Median before the Lord called him. His backgroud certainly had influence in one way or the other in his ministry. But remember the Lord provided opprotunities for his particular backgroud in line with His divine mandate for Moses. The same goes for others. Solomon was a king's son, achild born after God's restoration to David. He understood waht love is and seen by his fathers disposition towards him. He was equally loved by God. This could be seen in the way some of his writings were done. David was a shapherd boy before he became king. He had a good sense of solitary devotion.He had a great deal of aquintance with the Holy Spirit Most of the writings in the Psalm done by him follow that pattern. Many of the apostles who wrote the Gospels were fishers. They did not have any formal education. Their association with the Lord Jesus and their acquintance with the Holy Spirit set the apart. The patter of writing was driven by that fact. |
