Gospels

Paper Summary:

The Bible is probably the most read and most controversial book in the history of humanity. Much of this controversy can be attributed to the first four books of the New Testament, which are referred to as the four gospels. The four gospels chronicle the life of Jesus Christ,including his birth, ministry, death, and resurrection. This paper examines these books and solidifies the idea that the gospels are eyewitness testimonies whose differences and similarities are valuable in exploring and proving the historical life of Jesus Christ, the Lord God on earth.

From the Paper:

"There is a significant period of time, which separates the last of the Old Testament writings and the first of the New Testament writings. This time is referred to as the intertestamental period (Bloomberg). During this time, there are other accounts of Judaism, which were never accepted, by Judaism or Christianity as canonical or God inspired. There are two main accounts that fit this description, the apocrypha and the pseudepigrapha. Although these accounts are not viewed as canonical many historians have used them to evaluate the Jewish faith during the time the books were written(Bloomberg)."
