Four Gospels of the Lord Jesus Christ

These four narratives, forming the opening of the Christian New Testament, recount the life, teaching, death, and reported resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John differ in order, emphasis, and the speeches they record: kingdom parables and a sermon on a mount; a shorter, urgent ministry; a more ordered history addressed to a named reader; and a gospel of signs and long discourses. Settings are Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem under Roman rule. This edition reprints the King James text. The work is sacred biography and teaching, not a modern historical novel.
