Z for Zachariah has a unique plot, but after researching the different meanings of green consistently resembles the stories roller coaster of emotions. In the beginning, the novel shows the valley as immune to radioactivity, and despite all destruction to surrounding places the valley continues to stay green and growing. Green represents nature, and because the valley is seen as the last life on earth. Additionally, green, especially its lighter shades, is referenced to sickness, which obviously connects to the radioactive poisoning that Loomis deals with during the beginning of the story.

1.) Prior to this week, I had not realized that Luke was a Gentile, nor that there is debate over whether he was a professional historian. Our class discussion of Luke led to this discovery for me. 2.) I learned this week that Revelations is written in a manner that is reminiscent of the books Daniel and Ezekiel, in that it mimics their style and symbolism.
Luke begins with the infancy of John the Baptist in contrast Matthew doesn’t include John the Baptist’s infancy narrative at all. John the Baptist’s birth was a miracle as well as Jesus’ birth. According to Ian Peter Pells, the structure in Luke’s Gospel starts “chapters one and two with parallel description of the births of John the Baptist and Jesus” (Pells, 66). This could be a preview to Jesus’s birth, which would explain why Luke would want to include John the Baptist’s birth.
It is significant to us today, particularly if we are feeling lost, misplaced or astray. It shows us that we are always welcome in the Church to learn and love. Especially if we need to take some time away from friends, family and our busy social lives occasionally to reconnect with our God.

The Gospel of Matthew: Like all of the gospels, the apostle Matthew portrays Jesus as the promised Messiah throughout the gospel of Matthew. The book provided a defense for non-believing Jews, proved that Jesus came for the Gentiles as well, and proved Jesus to be the Messiah. Throughout the book Matthew reveals Jesus to be the promised Messiah through the events that took place in his life, which fulfilled prophecies, and through his ministry, teachings, and miracles. In Matthew chapter 1, Matthew notes the genealogy of Christ.
Matthew’s Gospel is a narrative of Jesus’ life and has objective Christology in it. Matthew not only talks about who Christ was a person, but he talks about the work that Christ did. At the beginning of his Gospel, we learn about the birth of Jesus. Throughout the rest of the gospel, we learn about Christ’s teachings and about the several different miracles he performed. In chapter 8, for example, Matthew recounts Jesus curing Peter’s mother-in law.
The Summary of the Gospel of Luke Just around two thousand years ago, a woman in the village of Nazareth was chosen to be the mother of the son of God, as was announced by an angel. Similarly, as was announced to a woman named Elizabeth, a relative of Mary, that she would have a baby who would be the one to prepare the way for the Son of God. The boys are both born, and grow to be young men, and are presented in the Temple and circumcised. As they age into adults, they begin their missions with baptisms.

The Gospel of Matthew is the first book of the New Testament that identifies Jesus as the Son of Abraham and the Son of David. Matthew introduces the kingdom to Israel in the flesh of Jesus of Nazareth, however the kingdom could only be established if the King was rejected. This comes to say that the Seed of Abraham appearance would conduct “redemption to humanity”. When a person has sinned, it has to be dealt with, before one can enjoy God’s kingdom. The Gospel of Matthew is to show that Jesus is really the Messiah and to also show the miracles he performed, the compassion he felt for people, healing, love, and how and why he sacrificed for His people.
