Abstract

We have no verifiable information about who wrote the gospels of the new testament, where they were written, or even when. Later legends connected these gospels with Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, but there is no reliable historical evidence to support these claims. Modern scholars estimate that the gospel called Mark was written first, about 65-75 C.E., Luke around 80-85 C.E., Matthew around 85-90 C.E., and the final form of John to around 150 C.E., though there is good reason to think it was based on earlier sources. These four accounts disagree on many important points, which leads many scholars to question the historical reliability of the accounts.
