Gospel Criticism

Gospel criticism is the scholarly study of the texts about Jesus found in the New Testament to understand their origins, authorship, and how they were written. It examines questions like when and why these writings were created, how they differ from one another, and what sources or traditions they might be based on. The goal is to better understand the historical context and message of the Gospels, helping readers distinguish between historical facts and theological interpretations. This approach provides insight into the development of early Christian beliefs and the authenticity of the texts.
