    Have you ever wondered why the same story appears differently in each of the four Gospels? The Gospels are authored by different people with different perspectives, and each has an agenda. Like any piece of good literature, the authors are doing more than reporting. They are creating propaganda for their particular faith communities. Their perspectives influence the stories they choose to include and the way they tell them. The differences are not a problem, but a gift. This class will help you understand why each gospel is written the way it is and compare their messages.
