Mark’s account reveals Jesus not only as the Son of God and God but also as the perfect servant of God, while Luke’s description of Jesus is not one of great wealth or status, but that of a perfect man and Luke does this by giving his readers a prologue of Jesus’s boyhood, and traces his genealogy back to Adam.

One example from the Gospels that historians can argue is probably historical is Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist. This event is mentioned in all four Gospels and is unlikely to have been invented by the authors, as it would have been a well-known event among Jesus' followers. Furthermore, the fact that John baptized Jesus, who was considered to be a greater figure than himself, suggests that this event actually occurred and was not simply a later invention. In her book "Consider Jesus," Elizabeth Johnson explores the significance of Jesus in contemporary Christian faith and theology.

Thank you for your response to my post. I agree Abby is an amazing role model for not only gender identity but diversity and oppression overall. Abby easily articulates how diversity and oppression are intertwined in all cultures and belief systems. Abby seems to have a natural ecological or systems perspective that has been developed through her own experiences which she easily transfers to highlight ongoing structural and cultural practices that are oppressive. I feel that Abby’s worries for her son were not about self-stigmatization but more about the freedom to be who you are despite culture beliefs and oppressive structures such as the gender stereotypes and segregation in the Hasidic community she grew up in.
