Topic 11: The Witness of the Gospels

Jesus sent the apostles into the whole world to “preach the gospel to the whole creation” (Mk 16:15) The content of that Gospel is what Jesus said and did in his earthly life.

The Gospels are not books that present Jesus as a figure of the past: they are a living word, and in them Jesus is always alive.
