How many Bible Gospels were written?

Quite a few gospels are known to have been written, most of them attributed to various of the apostles although biblical scholars say that none of the apostles really wrote any of the gospels. Only four gospels were selected for inclusion in the Bible - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.


How many gospel writers were there?

-----------------------There were many gospels written, and four of these were selected for inclusion in the New Testament - the gospels now known as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These gospels were originally written anonymously and only attributed by the Church Fathers to the apostles whose names they now bear, later in the second century. However, scholars say that there is no good reason to believe that these gospels were really written by the apostles, and in fact they could not have been written by eyewitnesses to the events they portray. The gospels were written in completely different styles and contain some passages that define very different theologies, so they were certainly written by separate authors.So: the four gospels of the Bible had four different authors, but we do not actually know who they were.


What are the eyewitness accounts about Jesus called in the Bible?

Unfortunately there are no eyewitness accounts of the life or teachings of Jesus anywhere in the Bible or elsewhere. Even conservative Christians concede that the Gospels of Mark and Luke were not written by eyewitnesses. Scholars say that all the New Testament gospels were written anonymously and that they were not attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John until later in the second century. They say that the Gospels of Matthew and John were unlikely to have been written by the disciples of those names, so that even these gospels were not eyewitness accounts. The gospels are certainly accounts about Jesus, but they were not written by eyewitnesses or even by some who knew eyewitnesses.
