My Catholic Catechism

The Gospels are the heart of all the Scriptures "because they are our principal source for the life and teaching of the Incarnate Word, our Savior."

We can distinguish three stages in the formation of the Gospels:
1. The life and teaching of Jesus
2. The oral tradition.
3. The written Gospels.
