What are the Gospels?

What are the Gospels?

• A. The letters of Paul
• B. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John
• C. A collection of prayers
• D. Stories about the life and teachings of Jesus

Answer: (B)

Gospels are the four books in the New Testament that tell the story of Jesus—his life, his teachings, and what happened after. They are written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, each sharing Jesus’ message for different readers and with a slightly different focus. They aren’t the letters of Paul, which are letters to early Christians about faith and how to live, nor are they merely prayers or random stories. They are the four dedicated biographies that introduce who Jesus is and what he taught.
