Robert Lisle Lindsey

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert "Bob" Lisle Lindsey (born August 17, 1917 in Norman , Oklahoma , † May 31, 1995 in Tulsa , Oklahoma) was an American pastor and Orientalist.

Life

Together with David Flusser he founded the Jerusalem School of Synoptic Research . He spent most of his adult life as a pastor in the Holy Land. He was pastor of the Narkis Street Baptist Church in Jerusalem. His biography was published in 2005 under the name One Foot In Heaven .

On September 13, 1961, he was seriously injured by a land mine in the Israel-Jordan border area. In the process he lost his left foot. Lindsey had tried to rescue an Arab boy from a minefield.

He was a scientist in search of the historical Jesus. He became known for his translation of the Gospel of Mark into Hebrew. He developed his own thesis to solve the synoptic problem . This thesis became known as the "theory of the Jerusalem school". After that, Luke was the first to write his gospel. The author of the Gospel of Mark used the Gospel of Luke as a template. Matthew used Mark as a template for his Gospel of Matthew . All three authors used a Greek translation of a no longer existing collection of sayings and deeds of Jesus in Hebrew Q . In addition, Luke used an unknown gospel. The Gospel of Luke was not known to Matthew. This thesis is a modification of the priority of Luke by William Lockton.
