The Four Gospels: a Quick Overview | Whiteboard Bible Study

The first four books of the Bible's New Testament cover the story of one person: Jesus of Nazareth. These books are called "gospels," and are named after their (traditional) authors.

But what is a "gospel," and why do we have four of them?

The gospels are four books in the Bible that tell the story of Jesus. They cover this story from a variety of perspectives, but they all hit on a few major points:

1. A person named Jesus is endorsed by God.
2. Jesus works miracles and teaches people.
3. Jesus is unjustly executed.
4. Jesus rises from the dead—validating his claims.

To followers of Jesus, this is good news—which is what the word "gospel" means. Jesus' followers preserved four documents about his life, death, and resurrection in the Christian Bible: the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

This video gives a high-level introduction to each of these gospels.
