Understanding the Bible - The Gospels

The first four books of the New Testament—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—are known as “Gospels,” an English word that means “good news.” These books are called Gospels because they tell the greatest news ever—that God has entered human history in the person of Jesus to bring salvation to the world!

While each may focus on various spiritual themes or present different aspects of Jesus’s earthly life, each gospel should be respected and appreciated for its literary and historical integrity as well as for providing a rich perspective into the life of Jesus.
