25 Hard to imagine how The Word got out in those days, since copies were limited. I guess much more detail was remembered from just verbal accounts. Scribes had to be pretty particular since I don't think they had copy/paste and email back then. The printing press probably irritated many in "authority", but that was a long way off from Mark and Luke.

75 The four symbols of the Evangelists: Matthew's man, Mark's lion, Luke's ox, and John's eagle are all borrowed from Ezekiel's vision of the four beasts surrounding the throne of God. All these creatures are winged, so Matthew's is sometimes referred to as an angel. Anyway, these creatures appear everywhere in the ancient Near East, especially Mesopotamia. They may represent the four types of life (as the ancients understood it) an the most powerful of that region. The eagle is the king of the flying creatures. The lion is the king of the wild beasts. The ox rules the domesticated beasts. Man rules them all. For Ezekiel's vision, God borrowed this symbolism to maybe represent His dominion over all Creation.

84 Wiki: "First described in the 1st century of the Common Era, when the Roman poet Martial praised its convenient use, the codex achieved numerical parity with the scroll around 300 CE, and had completely replaced it throughout what was by then a Christianized Greco-Roman world by the 6th century." So it's possible that Mark and Luke could have been acquainted with the codex, the ancestor of the modern book, I guess.

The Venetian Lion Explained - When in Venice
It says "Pax tibi Marce, evangelista meus", which translates as "Peace to you Mark, my evangelist". According to legend, while Saint Mark was visiting the Venetian lagoon in the 1st century AD, a storm put him in danger, but an angel appeared to him and reassured the saint with those words.

There's quite a bit of symbolism in the Bible borrowed from Mesopotamia and Egypt, and later Rome. God needed to make His message understandable so He used what the people of the day already knew. Similar to Jesus' parables. Use old images and symbols but give them new meaning.

108 Remarkable use of light to bring out the details of the figures of the men: the wrinkles of their skin, the very different hair, the folds in their robes. Also, Stom gives them discrete postures as they work on their writing. (Gospels?) The figure on the left looks directly at the viewers which includes them in their endeavors. It is a natural, true to life scene as they work which makes the audience feel like they are part of the situation. It gives a human face to bibical images that are often too lofty to directly involve the viewer. It is thoroughly effective.

Take a look at the other examples of Stom's work on the Wiki page. It's worth the time.

111 69 >>25 One interesting thing about the timing of Christ's time on earth was the development of roads by the Roman empire. It was fundamental to the spread of His message to the world.

There's a series on Amazon Prime called Drive Through History, where the host visits the actual sites and follows the Biblical timeline of the travels of Jesus and the disciples. It's really interesting to put places to events and give contextual weight to Jesus' message at the time. I did have to fast-forward past some of the guy's unnecessary "lighter" bits, but overall it's worth the watch.

It's my understanding that even today, Jews have a Hebrew name which may or may not correspond to their legal given name.* So, I believe that was the deal with Paul. He had two names throughout his life, but went exclusively with Paul when he became an apostle.

The female half (very cute lady) had just arrived here. Both spoke fine English, but I tried out a little of my Spanish ("Hablo espanol, un poco y muy lentamente") here and there. They were from the central part of that long country, the area with the Mediterranean/S. California climate. They were curious about all the plastic beads and why people hang them from trees here.

It seems like most "mainline" churches have become little more than social clubs with only a passing acquaintance with scripture. That's probably why they buy into the idea that most muslims are totally peaceful and don't really buy into that whole "explode a Jew for Allah" thing.

330 Funny thing is, since all the paintings of the apostles have them aged, it wasn't until embarrassingly recent that I realized most of these guys were pretty young when they were hanging around with Jesus.

John Mark in particular was thought to be a young man, at least per some commentaries I've read. Some suggest that he is the young man who "went away sad because he was very rich" and also that his mother was the owner of the "upper room."

The best version you'll ever hear is by Ambassadors of Harmony, a 100 voice all-male chorus. The album is Holiday in Gold.

It starts with one singer, then adds additional individuals as the song progresses. The entire choir booms out "SAID THE KING TO THE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE..."

It's fantastic.

372 "I always heard that the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls."

This would make an interesting premise for a fantasy novel.

377 For best Christmas song, I think there needs to be two categories: Religious and secular. It's impossible for me to compare O Holy Night to White Christmas
