Matthew's gospel is clear, organised and practical, giving prominence to Jesus' teaching about lifestyle and relationships.Mark's gospel is the shortest of the four first-century books which share the story of Jesus of Nazareth, and the most vividly told. Luke's gospel stresses how acceptance of Jesus' message means a complete reversal of worldly standards of success. John's gospel is a sublime masterpiece that has fascinated theologians and mystics for centuries.Acts is the story of the birth of the church and the beginnings of its journey around the world.
