The Synoptic Gospels

Matthew. Mark. Luke. Discover what makes these three Gospels similar and unique, from leading New Testament scholar, N.T. Wright.

Why Study the Synoptic Gospels?

We have four canonical gospel accounts, but Matthew, Mark, and Luke are commonly set apart in a category called the “synoptic” Gospels because of their narrative similarities. Examining each of the Synoptics for their similarities and differences can reveal a great deal about what the earliest Christians thought about Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection.

In these courses, Prof. Wright takes each Gospel on its own, considering familiar narratives, as well as the unique contexts and literary structures that give each Gospel its shape.

Explore what Matthew’s structure and artistry reveal about Jesus’s identity. Contemplate Mark’s biographical and apocalyptic accounting of Jesus’s ministry. And consider Jesus’s ministry through Luke’s historical lens.

What Students Are Saying
Jeff on The Gospel of Matthew

"Valuable for beginners who want to understand Matthew’s Gospel, but also those who want to study it and appreciate more deeply what it said to its first hearers and to us today. We are left with a greater understanding of Jesus as Isreal’s Messiah and God incarnate."

Leititia on The Gospel of Mark

"A thorough, encompassing introduction to this Gospel. Wright’s engaging narration of each chapter's content captures one's attention from beginning to end and leaves me hungry for more of the same. Breathtaking stuff."

"A thorough study of Luke that deepened my knowledge not just of this Gospel but also the significance of the life and teachings of Christ. These lessons touched my heart in a way that transformed my faith."
