Understanding The Bible: The Gospels (Discovery Series booklet)

Four Unique Books, One Amazing Saviour!

The four New Testament books known as the Gospels give us a rich perspective into the life of Jesus.  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 literacy and historical integrity.  Each writer's gospel book, fueled by the Holy Spirit, gives a unique window into who Jesus Christ is and what He came to accomplish.  Together they weave a beautiful tapestry of the story of salvation.

Mark L. Strauss is an American biblical scholar and professor of New Testament at Bethel Seminary San Diego, where he has served since 1993.  He is the author of numerous books and articles, and his areas of expertise include New Testament Gospels and Bible translation.
