Summary:The good news about Jesus spread like wildfire through the Roman Empire in the decades between his death and the writing of the first gospels -- but how? What exactly did the first Christians say about Jesus?

With implications for the historicity of the New Testament, the Synoptic problem, the composition of the gospels, and other topics of vital concern, From Good News to Gospels will inform, engage, and challenge readers, inspiring them to better understand and appreciate the earliest gospel message
