Introduction to the Gospels #2: The Uniqueness of the Gospels
This lesson explains the similarities and the differences between the four Gospels. While all the gospels have an emphasis is on the “Good News” of Jesus’ victory over sin, each preaches to different intended audiences, develops its own unique theological interests, makes its own story choices, in a unique structure.

About this Plan
The first four books of the New Testament are called “gospels,” which means “good news.” They are fundamental to the revelation of God’s eternal plan to redeem and save lost humanity. They are often called biographies for they each tell the story of Jesus, his birth, ministry, death, and resurrection. The good news of the Gospels is that Jesus has come, that he is both Savior and King, and people can know this is true because God has raised him from the dead. This section specifically focuses on the longest of the four Gospels, the Gospel of Matthew.
