The gospels of the New Testament are faith stories about the life of Jesus, but they are inspired by the ministry of Paul and the witness of other Greek-speaking Christians. Each gospel is a commentary on Jewish scripture and God, as understood by a Christian community in the first century.

Every story told in the New Testament represents the faith of a church and not merely the events of the past. Telling a story of Jesus is a way of living faithfully. This is not history or biography. This is preaching and proclamation.

The stories offered here also view life and scripture through the lens of faith.
