Matthew, Mark, Luke, And John - Paper

Matthew, Mark, Luke, And John

Theocentric Studies-Part I February 2, 1996
The four Gospels are neither histories of the life of Christ nor biographies.
They are portraits of the person and work of the long promised Messiah, Israel's
King and the world's Savior. As portraits they present four different poses of
