The gospels are the heart of scripture, because all of Scripture testifies to Christ. I think of it this way, the Old Testament sets the stage for the gospels, revealing God's character, our sin nature, and pre-figuring Christ's redemptive work. The rest of the New Testament (Acts, the epistles, Revelation, etc.) explain the implications of the Gospels. Jesus said that all Scripture testifies to Him (John 5:39), Scripture is one great story, with one great hero and His name is Jesus

Which gospel writers were apostles?

A second-century tradition is that the authors of Matthew and John were disciples of Jesus, and that the authors of Mark and Luke were other apostles.However, these attributions are unlikely to be correct. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that it is doubted by most scholars that any of the gospels was written by an eyewitness of the public ministry of Jesus. Ian Wilson (Jesus: The Evidence) says that it can come as quite a shock to discover that no-one can even be sure who wrote the gospels. He says that despite the versions printed in our Bibles long having borne the names Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, these names are mere attributions, and even as such are rather less reliable than attributions given to unsigned works of art. We do not really know who wrote any of the gospels, but it is unlikely that any of the writers was an apostle.

The writers of the New Testament are called evangelists because they wrote the four Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John - which are accounts of the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The term "evangelist" comes from the Greek word "euangelistes," which means "bringer of good news," highlighting their role in spreading the message of Jesus.
