Why are there four Gospels instead of one? Ernest D. Burton's classic study examines the distinctive purpose, audience, and theological character of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, showing how each contributes to the New Testament's unified witness to Jesus Christ.
Organized into five major studies, the volume opens with detailed examinations of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke before addressing the Synoptic Problem and the literary relationship of the first three Gospels. It concludes with a comprehensive study of the Gospel of John, highlighting its distinctive perspective within the New Testament canon.
Each Gospel is analyzed according to a consistent framework, examining its authorship, intended readers, historical setting, purpose, literary structure, and overall plan. Burton's careful treatment enables readers to appreciate both the unique character of each Evangelist and the harmony of their testimony. The discussion of the Synoptic Gospels provides a concise and balanced introduction to one of the central questions of New Testament scholarship, while the appended notes offer further clarification on key historical and literary issues.
Prepared in an easy-to-read large print format and enhanced with annotations, this edition preserves the substance of Burton's original work while making it more accessible to modern readers. Suitable for personal Bible study, theological education, sermon preparation, and classroom instruction, it remains a reliable introduction to the historical background, literary composition, and theological message of the four Gospels.
