Scholars do say that the four gospels were not assigned to any authors until well into the second century. Even as late as the 140s, Marcion simply referred to Luke's Gospel as "the Gospel", indicating that he was not aware of it having been attributed to any author.
Eventually, the Church Fathers tried to establish who, in their view, would most likely have been the authors.
- Matthew and Mark were named after the disciples of Jesus seen as most likely to have written in that style.
- John was so named because the apostle John was never mentioned, but there were references to an "apostle whom Jesus loved" and it was assumed that this must be John. On the assumption that the author was being modest, this meant that the author was John.
- Since the author of Luke's Gospel also wrote Acts of the Apostles, it was assumed that the author must have known Paul, as well as being familiar with the life of Jesus. Luke was regarded as the most likely candidate.
What else can I help you with?
How do Christians confirm that the Gospels are true when they were written by human authors instead of by God?
Many Christians have faith that the Gospels are true even though they were written by human authors instead of by God. Often, the events in different Gospels can be compared to each other to find the validity in them.
Is it true that the four Gospels are the Jewish Bible?
No, the Gospels are strictly Christian texts and are not recognised by Jews as religiously valid.
Why would you believe the Gospel written thousands of years ago by Anonymous Authors?
There are 4 Gospels in the Bible and the authors are known. The other books are the Epistles or Letters. These books were studied by the church over many years before they were accepted as God-inspired scripture. That is why I accept it.Further to this, the Gospels were written either by eyewitnesses, or people who spoke directly to and knew the eyewitnesses of the events described in them. The truth of the message is demonstrated in the changed lives of millions down through history. It is not just true though because it changes lives for the better. It changes lives for the better because it is the message of the true and living God.The Gospels were written by anonymous authors (search the web) whose sources were hearsay (see Luke 1) transferred from one person to another many times before it reached the anonymous author. The narration is always in the third person "they" and not in "we" or first person "I', which proves that the anonymous authors were not an eyewitness to the events. Nowhere in the Gospel did the author mentioned "I heard him say". If the Gospel were to be used in any court of law as evidence, it will be thrown out on ground of it being based on hearsay. I rejected the Bible as factual several years ago.

Are miracles of Jesus true?
A:To doubt the truth of the miracles, we do not need to believe that Jesus tried to deceive us by pretending to perform miracles that were not real. The first of the New Testament gospels was not written until forty years had passed since the time attributed to Jesus. That gospel, now known as Mark's Gospel, was written anonymously but most certainly not by an eyewitness to the events portrayed. The authors of the other gospels all relied on Mark, directly (Matthew, Luke) or indirectly (John) for everything they knew about the mission of Jesus. Thus, we have a group of accounts all written by anonymous authors who had no first-hand knowledge of the events they described, and who wrote long after the time of Jesus. There was plenty of time for memories of the teachings and actions of a holy man to be passed along and elaborated to become memories of miracles.

Which of the gospels in the Catholic Bible is the shortest?

What are four true historical assertions about Jesus?
AnswerThere is so little genuine historical evidence about Jesus. It is the nature of historical inquiry that the assertions contained in the gospels can not be claimed as historically true, without independent confirming evidence, which does not exist. But the following are true historical assertions:That there were many wandering preachers in Palestine during the first century BCE and the first century CE, making it plausible that Jesus of Nazareth really did exist, as one of these wandering preachersThat many millions of Christians believe that he was the long-awaited Jewish MessiahThat a religion was founded in his nameThat several books of the genre known as 'gospels' were written about Jesus, four of those gospels being placed in the New Testament canon.
