Who Chose the Gospels?: Probing the Great Gospel Conspiracy

4.60 out of 5 stars

Description

The four canonical Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John have long been revered as the authoritative accounts of Jesus' life and teachings. But what of the numerous other Gospels that once circulated, only to be lost to the sands of time? The question of how these four Gospels came to dominate the Christian narrative has sparked intense debate in recent years. Some have posited that powerful bishops and councils of the fourth century orchestrated a deliberate campaign to suppress rival texts and establish their own version of Christianity as the authentic one. According to this view, the canonical Gospels were elevated to prominence as a means of reshaping the Christian story, while alternative accounts like the Gospels of Judas, Mary, and Thomas were relegated to obscurity. But is this narrative of ecclesiastical conspiracy itself a rewriting of history, driven by modern academic agendas? In Who Chose the Gospels?, we delve into the scholarly fray, examining the ancient texts and the ongoing controversy surrounding their selection. This inquiry is crucial for anyone seeking to understand the historical Jesus and the evolution of the Christian church.
