In this concise and engaging book, New Testament scholar Simon Gathercole shows that crucial theological features link Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John together—and also set them apart from other ancient accounts of Christ's life. Writing in a clear and highly accessible style, Gathercole analyzes the New Testament Gospels alongside some of the earliest and most controversial apocryphal gospels. He shows that the canonical Gospels share key elements of theological content—content that consistently aligns with what the apostles taught about Jesus.

The Gospel of Mark is unique for its use of the word "immediately" over forty times; it drives the narrative forward with an explosive sense of motion that captures the heart of Christ's mission.

That would make John the third-oldest man to ever live. If you want to know who the other two are, read the book. This is a story about what might happen if this man were to encounter his family after a great many years. This story is also about the last days of creation-the end times.

The unicorn remains one of the most persistent and versatile symbols in the history of human imagination. Unlike many mythical creatures that originated as composite monsters intended to inspire terror, the unicorn emerged primarily as a biological curiosity. For millennia, it was treated not as a product of fantasy, but as a legitimate, albeit rare, member of the animal kingdom. This creature has bridged the gap between ancient natural history, medieval theology, and modern folklore, adapting its meaning to fit the cultural needs of every era it inhabited.

The Gospel of John is clearly meant to be more than just another version of the same story summarized in the other gospels. John presents Jesus not only as the Son of God but as God incarnate―a much higher and more developed Christology than we see elsewhere in the New Testament. And it describes our relationship with Jesus in deeper terms than the other Gospels do. John seems to have been written in and for a community of believers with a strong sense of mission and a lot of opposition.

You were told the Bible was perfect. That it came from God. That it never contradicted itself. And that asking too many questions was dangerous. But not everyone agreed. This book follows the lives and arguments of philosophers, scholars, ex-pastors, skeptics, and former believers. People who read the Bible carefully, seriously, and sometimes devotionally... until it broke under its own weight. From Spinoza and Voltaire to Bart Ehrman and Francesca Stavrakopoulou, The Gospel of Doubt walks through the quiet collapse of certainty. Not with anger, but with clarity.
