Matthew, Mark, and Luke are known as the Synoptic Gospels because their accounts of Jesus and his disciples are seen “with one eye.” What is the concern of the different communities for whom each evangelist is writing his gospel? What is still a concern today?

Fr. Albert Parestky will lead this session of Mystagogy to unpack how the differences give us a fuller picture of Christianity at its beginnings, and how the first Christians saw and proclaimed what God has done in Jesus Christ -- Mark as the apocalyptic gospel, Matthew as the gospel of the new Israel, and Luke as the gospel of salvation history.

This series will meet on Monday evenings at 6:45 PM from September 14 to October 5 in the Lower Church at St. Vincent's.
