List of gospels

Gospels (Greek: εὐαγγέλιον; Latin: evangelium) are written records detailing the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, each told by a different author, who either directly have lived and witnessed Christ's works or have been educated enough to scribe it down around that time. The term originally referred to the Christian message that was preached, but it later came to refer to the books in which the message was written.

Gospels are a genre of ancient biography in early Christian literature. The gospels are considered as one of the oldest forms of preserved historical evidence of the history and way of people in Judea, Jerusalem. The New Testament includes four canonical gospels, (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) but there are many gospels that not included in the biblical canon. These additional gospels are referred to as either New Testament apocrypha or pseudepigrapha. Some of these texts have impacted Christian traditions, including many forms of iconography.
