Writing the Five Gospels: How Historical Yeshua was Transformed into Christian and Gnostic Jesus - Paperback

by Lewis Keizer (Author)

I have written this book for all those who have been perplexed by the contradictions among the Gospels and the plausibility of the miracles and events they narrate. Today, in the 21st century, with the discovery and cataloging of some 10,000 manuscripts, we have been able to publish the earliest and best attested Greek and other manuscripts with textual apparatuses for scholars and clergy. We have been able to identify the sources used by the Gospel and other writers of the New Testament. This short book is an overview of the processes of writing the five gospels--in historical order Mark, Matthew, Luke-Acts, John, and Thomas.
