Hey all, my name is Sue.
I have managed to convince my younger brother Zachary to study Text and Traditions (a comprehensive study of a set book of the bible at yr 12 level) but both Zach and I are having trouble deciding whether he should study Luke's gospel or John's. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks and God Bless.
Love Sue

(sorry if this doesnt belong here, but im new and still finding my way around. this seemed the right area!)

I would start with John's gospel. It's pretty easy to read and straightforward.

Hi, Sue. Welcome to RR. I agree with Robert--I would start with the Gospel of John.

John emphasizes the supernatural events and Godhood of Jesus

Luke emphasizes Jesus' humanity

Mark = Jesus' Kingship

Luke = Christ's servanthood

whichever you want to focus upon should be your choice
