The Five Gospels

The Five Gospels refers to the five main ancient texts about Jesus' life and teachings: four New Testament Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—and the Gospel of Thomas, a collection of sayings. The four canonical Gospels offer different perspectives but share core stories, while the Gospel of Thomas emphasizes sayings of Jesus and was not included in the Bible. Together, they provide a richer understanding of early Christian beliefs and historical insights, blending narrative, teachings, and reflections from diverse sources. This concept highlights the varied origins and interpretations surrounding Jesus' life and message.
