  • Comparing Dialogue In Phaedrus And Jesus's Synoptic Gospel

    560 Words  | 3 Pages

    Throughout the chapter, Peter elaborates a theory of dialogue and dissemination as two distinct types of communication. Dialogue consists of a love and soul-to soul conversation between mutually present speakers, whereas dissemination involves the indiscriminate scattering of the messages (46). To illustrate the difference between the two conception of communication, Peter compares the communicative style of Socrates in Plato’s Phaedrus and Jesus’s parable of the sower in the synoptic gospel. Socrates serves as a model of dialogue, while Jesus serves as a model of dissemination. Socrates believed that dialogue is the preferred human state of communication where each individual contributes equally to the conversation in an intimate setting of dialectic and ‘reciprocity and interaction’ (33) are central in the exchange of communication.

  • Paul's Revelation Or Apokalypsis Of Jesus

    142 Words  | 1 Pages

    Paul’s life can be described as two different parts that paint a picture of a Pharisee who persecuted the first Christians and a great missionary that spreaded the new religion in non-Jewish commiunites and established the first chruches of Europe. Research shows that Paul was transformed due to encountering a revelation, or apokalypsis of Jesus Christ (Gal. 1:12), (Harris, 2014, p.319). In (Acts 9:1-9), the revelation is described as a blinding vision of the risen Messiah on the road to Demascus (Harris, 2014, p.319). Interestingly, the revelation is mentioned three times in Acts. Also, in (Gal. 1:15), Paul speaks of his experience as being an encounter by God’s grace and in (1 Cor. 9:1 and 1 Cor.

    In the book of Acts, we can see how the early church carry out Jesus’ commission to “go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life” and “instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you” (Matthews 28:19-20, MSG). Even in the beginning, the work of the church is centered on Jerusalem; soon its mission spreads out through the major cities of the Greco-Roman world of the first century. As we follow the apostle Paul’s mission trips in the Mediterranean region, we can easily recognize that the most influential urban places become the primary targets of his mission. It is not that these cities are exceptionally good or opened to the Gospel, but they are simply the places of the microcosms or crossroads of human civilization, where most people live and where significant influence happens.
