This week in Theology 2, we learned about a bunch of stuff. We learned about two of the four Gospels, Luke and Matthew. In Matthew 1, his audience was Jewish-Christian and in Luke 3, his audience was Gentile-Christian. We were also introduced to a really cool, new social networking app for the iPad called Showroom. I cannot emphasize how cool this will be for our class. It gives us a new way to show what we’ve learned in class every week. The way the app has stories gives us a way to show certain events throughout the Bible in chronological order. Good choice, Mr. Gattis! I also think the new method of having us do the readings for homework and doing the surveys in class is a good idea.

We also read about the Advent and Pregnancy Narratives for homework one night. This article mostly talked about Luke’s Gospel and about Mary’s pregnancy. What was confusing to me about this article is how they said Mary’s pregnancy brought shame to her. But if God made her pregnant as a virgin, why does she get the shame if it wasn’t her doing? She was chosen to give birth to Jesus Christ. I would love to go over this more in class.
