Definition for Synoptic Gospels A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Synoptic Gospels: Three of the four books in the Bible about Jesus' life (Gospels) are quite similar in content, likely based on a common reference source. They are Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It is speculated that Matthew and Luke borrowed passages from Mark or perhaps that all three used a common, but unidentified source. Nevertheless, each provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of Jesus. Despite their similarities, each of the Gospels was written with a different purpose or audience in mind and with a specific focus or intent. As such, we see many similarities, as well as uniqueness, between the different accounts. (See our Internet resources page for sites with more information on this topic.) |
