SOPHOMORES: Study Guide

The test will mainly cover the following information:

1. Matthew 1-2 (do not worry about the details of the genealogy, but more so the structure).

2. Luke 1, 2, & 3:1-20

3. The background information to Luke's Gospel (the notes, pages 1-5). The following are points of interest:

Theophilus
Educational Background to Luke
The historical accuracy of Luke's Gospel
Luke & St. Paul
Terms / words that Luke uses in comparison to Mark or Matthew's text
Ideas of Luke's Christology
The Magnificat
Liberation Theology


4. The Infancy Notes (pgs. 1-9 that were reviewed in class). Be able to compare and contrast the two stories - either in essay form or multiple choice questions.

For example, I may give you an example on the test like this:
In which Gospel account are we told that Herod is the king?
A. Matthew
B. Luke
C. Both
D. Neither
