The Gospels Explained : A Clear Guide to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John: Their Origins, Differences, and Meaning
Overview
Four Gospels. One Jesus. Four different ways of telling his story.
Why does Matthew begin with a genealogy while Mark starts with John the Baptist? Why does Luke tell stories that appear nowhere else? And why is John's Gospel so different from the other three?
The Gospels Explained is an accessible introduction to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, exploring how these ancient texts were written, what makes each distinctive, and why their differences matter.
Through 25 carefully structured chapters, the book examines:
The historical world of Jesus and the origins of the Gospel traditions
Who may have written the four Gospels and when
The literary relationships between Matthew, Mark, and Luke
The distinctive teachings, narratives, and theological perspectives of each Gospel
Differences in the accounts of Jesus' birth, crucifixion, and resurrection
Ancient manuscripts, textual variations, and the formation of the four-Gospel collection
Drawing on biblical texts, early Christian writings, and modern scholarship, Paul Abeto distinguishes historical evidence from theological interpretation, explains competing scholarly views, and addresses difficult questions without forcing simple answers.
Written for curious beginners, Christian readers, and anyone interested in the origins of the New Testament, this book offers a thoughtful way to read the four Gospels both individually and together.
Understand not only what the Gospels say, but why each tells the story differently.
