Evangelios De Mateo Y Marcos – (Spanish)

The evangelist Matthew writes to a Jewish-Christian audience and teaches us that Christ fulfills the promises of the Old Testament. The inheritance of the Messiah belonged to the Israelite people; however, many Jews didn t recognize Jesus, which is why Gentiles made up a large portion of the early Christian converts.

Matthew s Gospel quotes the Old Testament as it speaks of the reign of God, the promise of eternal life, and Jesus teaching of the twofold commandment to love God and neighbor. In the Gospel of Matthew, Father Bill Anderson s conversational instruction style brings Scripture to life, moving us to use God s Word in prayer through the spiritual discipline of lectio divina.

Mark s Gospel was the earliest of the four gospels to be written, having significant impact on the Church and later writers. In this book you ll read how Jesus prepared for his public ministry and how he revealed the Mystery of God s reign in his words and in his life. The Gospel of Mark introduces you to Mark s thoughts and his audience so that, in the end, you ll become a witness to who Jesus is. And as you practice the ancient art of lectio divina, you ll and yourself not just knowing about Jesus, but coming to know him as the Lord.
