Which books in the Bible focuses on Jesus' life and teachings?

Answer 1

The Bible.

The bible is the (holy) scripture. It comprises both the Old Testament and New Testament. The New Testament (new agreement) reveals the life and work of Jesus and the first Christians. The word "christian" is used in Acts 26:27 when the Apostle Paul is defending himself before King Agrippa. In the New Testament, the first 4 books are called Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and are known as the gospels. These gospels tell of Jesus' birth, His life and work, His death and resurrection.

Answer 2

Jesus tells us that most all of the Bible (see Genesis 3:15 and Deuteronomy 18:15 of Moses' writings) ending with the Book of Revelation - parts of His life are revealed:

Luke 24:27New International Version (NIV) 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

Answer 3

Those would be the four Gospels in the New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

ANOTHER ANSWER:

The "gospels" mentioned above do indeed focus on Jesus' "mortal life" on earth. But, considering that the entire Bible is the recording of His "inspired" Words [that have proceeded from the mouth of God] from Genesis to Revelation... His "teachings" are found throughout the Bible; with the primary focus of those teachings on His Laws, which would have to be shared by the five books of Moses.

His "New Testament teachings" focus on the "spiritual expansion and magnification" of the laws recorded by Moses [for Jesus referenced all His teachings in the gospels from the "Old Testament teachings;" which was the ONLY BIBLE {books, scrolls} around in those days]. His New Testament magnification of the law isn't about the "ACT" of sinning [breaking the law - I John 3:4]... as much as they were about the "spiritual thought process" that leads up to the manifestation of the sinful act:

"You have heard that the Law of Moses says, 'Do not murder' [the 7th Commandment or law]. If you commit murder, you are subject to Judgment.' But I SAY, IF YOU ARE ANGRY [anger is a SPIRITUAL EMOTION, that, if left to fester within one's heart, can lead to a murderous act] with someone, you are subject to Judgment! If you CALL someone an idiot [words are invisible; spiritual - '...the Words that I speak unto you, THEY ARE SPIRIT, and they are LIFE.' - John 6:63], you are in danger of being brought before the high council. And if you CURSE someone [vile, spiritual words], you are in danger of the fires of hell[Gehenna, the valley on the outskirts of Jerusalem where trash was burned; along with certain incorrigible criminals, that shall become the Lake of Fire when Jesus returns].

But, it's Moses' "inspired" Old Testament recordings of God's laws that would be the primary foundation and focal point of God's teachings in the Bible; with Christ's teachings recorded throughout the "gospels" and the "instructional, edifying letters" to all the churches throughout the New Testament, that ILLUMINATE and MAGNIFY the spiritual aspect of them.

Answer 4

The entire book would, of course, be the Bible, however, Christ's work and the Disciple's work are spread in various books of the New Testament.

Answer 5

"The Holy Bible" I don't share these views but this was an easy one to answer.

The books of scripture that best describe Jesus life and teachings are the 4 gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. For a more historic view read The Acts of the apostles.

Answer 7
