I do not believe that authorship of the Gospels is an important issue for Christians today. Most Christians have faith and do not question or try to justify that faith.

For some Christians, the truth of the Gospels is based on the assumption that they were written by eyewitnesses or close associates of eyewitnesses. It is also based, to some extent, on the assumption that the Gospels are not dependent on each other, thus providing a level of mutual verification. For these Christians it may be an important issue to realise that the Gospels were actually written much later than generally assumed and that the authors were neither eyewitnesses nor close associates of eyewitnesses. It may also be important for them that the Gospels of Matthew, Luke and John are based, directly or indirectly, on the earliest Gospel, Mark.
