The Unreliability i the Gospels
The, Gospels were composed after the early had
become divided into different factions. They fact
composed to propagat, the special teachings various
schools and their authors showed no hesitation in
tampering with the earlier documents and other tra-
ditional material regardig the life and teaching of Je-
sus to bring them in line with the views of their
schools. Rev. T.G. Tucker writes:
"Thus Gospels were produced which clearly reflect
the conception of the practical needs of the commu-
nity for which they were written. In them the tradi-
tional material was used, but there was no hesitation
in altering it or making additions to it, or in leaving
out what did not suit the writer’s purpose"1.
The four Gospels included in the Bible were not
the only Gospels written in the early centuries of
Christianity.
