Horizons' Study for 2011--2012
In the 2011-2012 Confessing the Beatitudes, author Margaret Aymer introduces the study by noting that the Gospel writers credit Jesus with two slightly different lists of beatitudes: Matthew 5:1-12 in which Jesus teaches 9 beatitudes (in the list we know so well as "the Beatitudes") In Luke 6:20-26, Jesus teaches four beatitudes similar to the list in Matthew. Aymer presents the beatitudes of both Matthew and Luke together.
