But he could not do so,

When peaceful stillness compassed everything

Your all-powerful word, from heaven's royal throne
bounded, a fierce warrior, into the doomed land,
bearing the sharp sword of your inexorable decree.
And as he alighted, he filled every place with death;
he still reached to heaven, while he stood upon the earth.

The kerygma
OUTLINE
Introduction
What is Kerygma
The composition of the writing gospels
The relationship between the oral tradition and the composition of the written gospel
The circumstances that led to the composition and circulation of the synoptic
Conclusion

INTRODUCTION
The Gospels first existed in the oral tradition. The person of Jesus Christ, His life- words and deeds constitute the Gospel. After the ascension of Jesus the people started talking about him and of the events relating to his death and resurrection. These became the first “good news” to be announced. During this time, the Kerygma was on the fact that Jesus Came, lived, suffered, died, resurrected for our sake and that he will come again. What then led to the composition of the writing gospel is there any relationship between the writing gospel and the oral teaching? Why some are referred to as synoptic what led to this?
