Hi Jared, I do not usually even see comments posted on videos from several years ago, and for the most part I do not respond to the comments even if I see them. This was a recording of a class I was teaching at St Francis College in Brisbane some 9 years ago (March 2014). If it is helpful to you or of interest, then that is great. However, I am not providing personal tutoring in basic biblical scholarship to people who were not in that class. Let me just say that you seem to be assuming that people such as Luke or Paul had a view about Scripture-including even the emerging early Christian writings which had not yet been gathered into a collection that (much later) be recognised as a "New Testament"-that saw them as "divinely inspired through the Holy Spirit" (using your own words) and thus somehow part of a body of sacred literature that you describe as "God's Word as a whole." These are modern concepts, and mostly reflect a particular Evangelical view of Christianity and its sacred texts. I share neither those concepts nor your understanding of Christianity. I approach the formation of the earliest Christian documents, whether included in the later NT collection or not, as a historical question similar to questions about the formation of other ancient literature that has no particular religious significance to Christians of various outlooks. The results of such historical investigations may have theological implications for you, but we do not mortgage our historical work to the consequential theological issues. To be very clear, the anonymous 2C author we call "Luke" chose which ideas to include in the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles, and he also chose which words would be used to express those ideas. This was not a task undertaken or overseen by the Holy Spirit or any other otherworldly entity. Books are created by humans, not by gods. The same applies to creeds and theological statements. Grace and peace.

Hi, Kyle. Yes. my big head sometimes obscures the lower right portion of the screen! I think it is hard to attach a PDF to a YoiubTube video, but sometimes I have added a link to the PDF on the VIDEO page of my personal website: www.gregoryjenks.com

You are welcome. :)

Hello, Rudyard. I have no idea how to do this (or why one would wish to do this), other than by turning off the audio for the slides when you do not wish to hear it. Cheers. GJ

I was helping my dad create a Power Point presentation using Keynote, and he wanted to play a song through the last 2 slides only. Thank you anyways!! =)

Hi again, Rudyard. If it will help I can send you my Keynote file and that way you can edit it for your dad and there will not be any audio. My email address is: gregjenks (at) me dot com

Thanks. But it's too late now. He needed it for Sunday. We did ok, he and the audience liked the one I did. I do need to learn more about this app. Thanks anyways.

We are still working on getting decent audio for the videos, but I think we did better the following Sunday. We shall keep working with the technical side of things to get a better result.

+Brandon Hoffman : Here are some links to sites mentioned in my lecture. to all the sites mentioned are still available online. virtualreligion.net/primer/ www.hypotyposeis.org/synoptic-problem/ www.ntgateway.com/synoptic-problem-and-q/websites/ www.jerusalemschool.org

Thank you very much Professor Jenks. I really enjoyed the lecture.
