A:There is a non-canonical Gospel of Mary, attributed to Mary Magdalene. However, care should be taken in reading this attribution. From earliest times, it was the practice to attribute gospels to the disciples and acquaintances of Jesus, lending them authority. We actually know none of the gospel authors but it is unlikely that a woman wrote any gospel story.

There are no women who wrote the canonical Gospels in The Bible. The four Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—are traditionally attributed to male authors. However, there are non-canonical Gospels such as the Gospel of Mary Magdalene or the Gospel of Philip that feature women more prominently.

Who wrote the longest gospel?

The Gospel of Luke is considered the longest of the four canonical Gospels in the New Testament. It contains 24 chapters and includes detailed accounts of the life and teachings of Jesus.


Which gospel writers were apostles?

A second-century tradition is that the authors of Matthew and John were disciples of Jesus, and that the authors of Mark and Luke were other apostles.However, these attributions are unlikely to be correct. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that it is doubted by most scholars that any of the gospels was written by an eyewitness of the public ministry of Jesus. Ian Wilson (Jesus: The Evidence) says that it can come as quite a shock to discover that no-one can even be sure who wrote the gospels. He says that despite the versions printed in our Bibles long having borne the names Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, these names are mere attributions, and even as such are rather less reliable than attributions given to unsigned works of art. We do not really know who wrote any of the gospels, but it is unlikely that any of the writers was an apostle.


How many gospels are there in the New Testament?

Which gospels were written by the Gentiles?

Luke was a companion of the apostle Paul and wrote his gospel to provide a detailed and orderly account of Jesus' life. Mark, a disciple of Peter, wrote his gospel to present a concise and action-packed narrative of Jesus' ministry.


Who wrote the first four books of the New Testament?

Who wrote the infancy narratives in the gospels?

A:There are two infancy narratives in the New Testament, in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Since these gospels are traditionally attributed to the apostles Matthew and Luke, this would seem to tell us who wrote the infancy narratives. However, the gospels were originally anonymous and were only attributed by the Church Fathers to the apostles whose names they now bear later in the second century. Modern scholars say there is no good reason to accept those attributions and, in fact, neither gospels could have been written by an eyewitness to the life of Jesus or even someone who knew such an eyewitness. Thus, we do not know who wrote the gospels and we therefore do not know who really wrote the infancy narratives.
