The four books that tell the story of Jesus' life?

The four books that tell the story of Jesus' life are called the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each Gospel provides a unique perspective on Jesus' teachings, miracles, and crucifixion. Matthew and Luke include genealogies and birth narratives, while Mark and John focus more on Jesus' ministry and theological significance. Together, these four books form the foundation of the New Testament and are essential to understanding the Christian faith.

Why would Mark's Gospel appeal to the Romans?

A:Most Romans could not understand Greek, so it would not have appealed directly, but in translation. By the time Mark was written, approximately 70 CE, we know from Paul's Epistle to the Romans that there was already a thriving Christian community in Rome, although this was at least temporarily dispersed by Nero, who accused the Roman Christians of starting the Great Fire of Rome. We know very little about the theology being taught by the earlier Christians in Rome, but Mark provided a compelling story of success, then failure, despair and hope. At the same time, Mark's Gospel is careful not to apportion blame for the crucifixion of Jesus to the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, making it clear that he was a reluctant judge, who committed Jesus to crucifixion under duress. Mark further endears itself to the Romans by stating, "Give unto Caesar, that which is Caesar's..." (Mark 12:17). Mark's story was clearly not a threat to the Roman empire, and it was safe for Romans to associate with the gospel.

Did Mark write the first gospel?

Some debate about that one. Originally it was thought to be Matthew, modern scholars think that Mark was the oldest.
