Which gospel writers were apostles?
A second-century tradition is that the authors of Matthew and John were disciples of Jesus, and that the authors of Mark and Luke were other apostles.However, these attributions are unlikely to be correct. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that it is doubted by most scholars that any of the gospels was written by an eyewitness of the public ministry of Jesus. Ian Wilson (Jesus: The Evidence) says that it can come as quite a shock to discover that no-one can even be sure who wrote the gospels. He says that despite the versions printed in our Bibles long having borne the names Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, these names are mere attributions, and even as such are rather less reliable than attributions given to unsigned works of art. We do not really know who wrote any of the gospels, but it is unlikely that any of the writers was an apostle.

How was it decided what books to include in the New Testament?
Ireneus insisted that there must be four and only four gospels and that those were Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, to the exclusion of other gospels that had been written. Because Acts of the Apostles was written by the author of Luke and appeared to be the most comprehensive history of the early Church, that too was included. Revelation was included because it was signed by a person called John, and it was decided that this was the apostle John.A great deal of debate surrounded which epistles were genuine, and the present list was included because it was decided that these most probably were really written by the apostles. Hebrewswas included because, at that stage, it was thought to have been written by Paul.
