They related their own experience: the gospel is testimony

Kind

Formula

Interpretive layers

Teaching pattern

Experiential narrative

The end of Luke summarised in five words - they told what had happened - which Moffatt renders from the Greek as 'they related their own experience'. Neville takes this as the whole nature of the gospel and as the warrant for his own platform: he makes no claim to be other than the man you know, with all the weaknesses and limitations of any man, and what he does is relate his own experience. It is also his explanation of why the scholars cannot read the book: the most brilliant of them, working on the ancient manuscript, cannot grasp it without the experiences, because the drama did not take place on this level and can only be reported by someone in whom it has happened.
