‘All human beings by nature desire to know." said Aristotle. The earliest believers in the gospel preached by Peter naturally desired to know all they could about what Jesus said and did and suffered while on earth. They asked, and the Twelve did their best to respond. There were disputes, for example about who did what first, and soon some of the answers in circulation were contaminated with pious inventions designed to forestall objections. Of the many attempts to compose a continuous narrative of the events that launched the Church, four were eventually chosen by leading bishops for use in the liturgy and in the instruction of Christians both young and old. Unfortunately, the four are not entirely consistent either in themselves or with one another. They answer questions raised by Christians of the first century; they do not resolve the issues that most vex Christians of the present day. But they remain the best sources we have on the question that is ever-fresh in each generation: What can the Church tell us about the life, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus, who planted the mustard seed of what is now the world-wide Christian community?
