There is an perhaps unjustified assumption that the gospels are in fact reliable historical documents. Most people believe that they were written by eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus, or at least (for example, Luke) people who had met and learnt from eyewitnesses. However, the clear majority of modern scholars no longer support that view.
Belief that the gospels are reliable historical documents must remain a matter of faith, and can not be proven.

When scientists examine data such as historical documents they are using what method?

Is there any evidence that Matthew Luke Mark and John were historical people?
A Christian tradition says that Matthew, Luke, Mark and John were the authors of the gospels that bear their names. Certainly the gospels were written by real, historical people, but they were originally anonymous works. It was only later in the second century that the Church Fathers attributed each of the New Testament gospels to the apostle they thought most likely to have written the book. The existence of the gospels is therefore not proof that people known as Matthew, Luke, Mark and John were historical people. As to whether the apostles of those names were historical people, there is no extra-biblical evidence. It is possible to believe in their likely existence on the basis of biblical testimony, but it is not possible to prove that they really were historical people.

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.

Did Jesus bring his suffering on himself?
We know nothing historical about Jesus except what is written in the gospels, and it is not the intention of the gospels to admit any fault in Jesus. Attempting to answer the question from a wider perspective, many modern scholars believe that the gospel stories are not literally true, with some even questioning whether there really was a Jesus of Nazareth. If Jesus was, in fact, a real person but he did not really suffer in the way the gospels describe, then he also did not bring suffering on himself. If Jesus was not a real person, then of course he did not. But at this stage we do not know.
How many books in the Bible quote Jesus?
I believe it's 6: the 4 gospels, Acts, and Revelation.
Is the resurrection of Jesus a historical event?
A historical event is an event known to have happened. Historians rely on evidence such as coins, archaeological artefacts or independent testimony to determine whether that event was really historical. In the case of the resurrection of Jesus, there is no such evidence and even the testimony of the gospels is not independent. No contemporary Roman or Jewish author even mentioned the crucifixion and none mentioned the resurrection of Jesus. There are Christians who believe that the resurrection must have been a real, historical event, but also some Christians who concede that perhaps it did not. In the end, it is a matter of faith.
Do you believe in the Gnostic Gospels?
A:I believe that the Gnostic gospels are no more or less true than the gospels that were accepted by the dominant brach of Christianity, becoming part of what we now know as the New Testament. The incompatibility between the Gnostic gospels and the form of Christian teaching in the 'Catholic-Orthodox' Church inevitably meant that the Gnostic gospels would be banned, along with the Gnostic Churches.
