This video discusses the authorship of the four Gospels is explored, along with its importance for their historical reliability. Early Christian sources consistently attribute the Gospels to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and both historical and internal evidence are presented in support of these traditional attributions. Objections regarding the authors' literacy are also addressed, arguing that the traditional authorship of the Gospels is historically credible and should be evaluated by the same standards as other ancient works.
