Our text opens with this sentence: "People who read the Gospels assume that these books tell stories about Jesus simply as they happened. But is that true?"
How does the text answer the question, "Is this true?"
The text says that it is not true. It says that the stories were passed down orally for many years, 35 to 65 years actually, until they were written down.Do you agree with the text? Why, or why not?
I agree with the text. I agree because in those times not everybody knew how to read and write. Also, I agree because the Apostles weren't walking around with a scroll to write stuff down; they had left everything to follow Jesus. It took quite some time until the stories were finally written down.
