== == The four gospels (and a little part of Acts) are the only writings in the New Testament that describe the life and mission of Jesus. Without them, Christians would not be sure who Jesus was, or when he lived. == == Paul, in his epistles, never acknowledged that Jesus was a person who lived in the recent past, and even regarded the resurrection as spiritual. In the same vein, Hebrewstalks of Jesus as the high priest in heaven. The Didache(Teachings of the Apostles), an important early Christian writing, provides detailed instructions about the eucharist but, paradoxically, does not associate it with the death of Jesus. Outside the gospels, there is little in the New Testament to really tell us about the foundation events important to Christianity. So, the gospels have an important place because they define what modern Christianity is all about. The gospels, as the above states, are the only reliable records we have of the life of Jesus either written by eyewitnesses (Matthew, John) or by those who knew eyewitnesses (Mark, Luke). Without these the only other records would be the writings of Paul who speaks of this 'Jesus Christ' from which we can glean quite a bit of information but not as much as the gospels, or the more scant writings of contemporary historians like Pliny, Josephus or Tacitus, or the oral tradition handed down by the disciples through their own followers (eg John and his own follower Polycarp).
