The LETTERS. I just found this in my bible... Glad to help.
The Gospels came to be written by man....through God....the gospels are the life of Jesus Christ from birth to his years of ministering to God to his gruesome death....
In the Gospels, God is portrayed as speaking through Jesus, who taught and performed miracles to demonstrate God's power and love. Jesus used parables and direct statements to convey God's message of love, forgiveness, and salvation to the people.
Matthew was written primarily for the Jews. Luke was written for the believing Romans or non-Jews. John was written for gnostics--people who believed more in knowledge and mysticism. Mark was probably the earliest Gospel written, and written for the followers of Jesus.
A:All four New Testament gospels were originally anonymous and only attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John later in the second century. The gospel now known as John's Gospel was actually attributed to Cyrenthus before finally being attributes to John. The attributions to Matthew, Mark, Luke and Johnmean that Matthew and John were then considered to be witten by Jesus' disciples, while Mark and Luke were not.Modern New Testament scholars say that there is no good reason to accept the traditional attributions, and that none of the gospels could have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed. On this evidence, all the New Testament gospels were written by people who were not disciples.
AnswerIf there were extra-biblical evidence that could verify the gospel stories, they would be documents of fact.Because there is no extra-biblical evidence for the gospel stories, but many people have faith in them, they are documents of faith.
they were written after the death of Jesus
The gospels are New testament books that tell the life story of Jesus and explain his message.
Jesus did not teach from the gospels per se, as the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John had not yet been written. They are the account of His life and teachings written by these men after Jesus had died.
The 4 Gospels were written by 4 people about one Jesus.
I think since Jesus was known a lot that they can just remember it.

Throughout the Gospels Jesus' every message was a witnessing event, which he preached daily.
No. The four Gospels ('Gospel' means good news) are accounts by four of Jesus' contemporaries (and maybe one near-contemporary) about what Jesus said, what He did, where He went, to whom He spoke, etc. The Gospels contain references to God's people before Jesus' time (mostly made by Jesus Himself), but they are included only incidentally to the main thrust of the Scripture. The Gospels' principal focus is on Jesus.
According to the Gospels, yes.
Each gospel was written to a different audience for a different reason. Matthew was written to the Jews to show that he was the promised Messiah. Mark was written to the Romans. Luke was written to the Greeks. John was written to show the divinity of Jesus. While the four gospels appear quite similar, deeper study reveals great differences in the message.
There are four Gospels in the Bible. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. This is in terms of the written scriptures. In terms of the teaching of the New Testament, there is only one Gospel message of good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. There are at least 17 known gospels, of which four are in the New Testament - those now called the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
In the Gospels, God is portrayed as speaking through Jesus, who taught and performed miracles to demonstrate God's power and love. Jesus used parables and direct statements to convey God's message of love, forgiveness, and salvation to the people.
