i heard before about the symbols of the gospels as a man, ox, lion and eagle but i had only before assumed that the names came out of the personalities of the gospel writers. while that is true, burridge brings me to the understanding that it had more to do with the portrayals of Jesus. i used to think of the gospels as trying to tell the same stories but they were twisted because of personality, but really they were each trying to show a specific side of Christ. He had several characteristics and for all gospels to point out the same side would be pointless. instead we see the layers of Christ's personality, just as the writers intended.
