The four Gospels are each attributed to a writer who was either one of Jesus’ 12 apostles or associated with them.

Simon Peter was one of Jesus’ three closest disciples (along ...

Following Jesus’ last instructions, his followers (the eleven disciples and others) wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit to empower them. In a dramatic display at the Feast of Pente...

He apparently didn’t believe in Jesus’ Messiah status until after Jesus was resurrected (1 Corinthians 15:7), then became an essential member of the early church in Jerusalem. His e...
Traditionally, The Book of Hebrews has been attributed to Paul, although it doesn’t list its author. The author’s identity may be unknown, but he has a strong understanding of Judaism. He refers to angels, Moses and other prophets, and “the order of Melchizedek” (Hebrews 7:17), all important figures in the Old Testament. He builds a case that Jesus...

John describes God-given messages to seven churches in various conditions (some persevering against persecution, some gone lukewarm) and a series of apocalyptic visions. Like the apocalyptic visions in the Book of Daniel, these vi...
