Discover the surprising historical evidence behind the order and origins of the four New Testament Gospels. In this interview, Dr. David Alan Black — a Greek scholar, missionary, and author of Why Four Gospels? — explains why the early church unanimously viewed Matthew as the first Gospel, why Mark wasn’t originally intended as a “Gospel,” and how Luke and John uniquely complement the story of Jesus.
If you’ve ever wondered why we have four Gospels instead of one, how early they were written, or what external evidence the early church left behind, this conversation will deepen your understanding of Scripture and Christian history.
🎧 What to expect:
• The real historical order: Matthew → Luke → Mark → John
• Why “Q” likely never existed
• How the early church viewed the Gospels
• Why authorship, dating, and purpose matter
• The role of eyewitness testimony in Gospel reliability
• How Matthew served the Jewish church & Luke served the Gentiles
