‘The Gospels express the faith of the early Christian communities’ Evaluate this quotation The three Synoptic Gospels of Mark‚ Luke and Matthew describe events from a similar point of view‚ but each author has a different purpose. John Mark wrote to give strength to persecuted ‚ Christians. Matthew‚ on the other hand‚ sought to convince Jews that Jesus was the Messiah they had been waiting for.
