37:19Now PlayingIn this episode, we explore the early development and recognition of the fourfold Gospel in the second century—long before the formal canon was finalized. Was the Church already embracing Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John as a unified Gospel witness?
To answer that, we’ll examine key second-century texts including 2 Clement, The Shepherd of Hermas, and the letters of Ignatius of Antioch. These writings offer striking clues about how the early Christian community viewed the authority, coherence, and uniqueness of the four Gospels.
Join me as we trace the shift from individual Gospel scrolls to a compiled book of the fourfold Gospel that shaped the faith and worship of the early Church.
