The section on THE SYNOPTIC GOSPELS is divided into 4 topics: Topic 1: The Synoptic Fact and the Formation of the Gospels; Topic 2: The Gospel of Mark; Topic 3: The Gospel of Matthew; Topic 4: The Gospel of Luke. THE GOSPEL OF JOHN: This part introduces the student to the uniqueness of the Fourth Gospel within early Christian literature.
