Essay On The Four Canonical Gospels

The Passion Assignment The purpose of this assignment is to compare the canonical Gospels to the move Passion of the Christ by Mel Gibson. In order to complete the assignment I will use Kurt Aland’s Synopsis of the Four Gospels and will view the passion scene in Mel Gibson’s Passion of the Christ.

So I believe that it doesn’t matter which Gospel you study, be it Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John, you will still end up with the same big picture. However, it does help to see a conflated version of the Gospels to see the little details as one larger piece of
