• What, if any, were the major themes of each Gospel?
• How does this information inform you as to who the original audience was?

Your paper should include at least 3 citations from the textbook and 2 citations from the book Four Portraits, One Jesus, by Mark Strauss. (Library E Book version) For assistance in accessing the Strauss E Book use the PowerPoint Presentation below. Write your essay in complete sentences and use proper APA format.
