Excerpt from The Gospel of Jesus: Critically Reconstructed From the Earliest Sources "Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to draw up a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us, even as they delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, that thou mightest know the certainty concerning the things wherein thou wast instructed." With these words a Christian writer of the end of the first century prefaced his version of the familiar gospel material, written to assist inquirers to more accurate knowledge of the work and word of Jesus. There were in existence a considerable number of written versions of the gospel, which this writer had carefully studied, but no one of which he found perfectly satisfactory. There was the brief manual of Mark, telling the story of Jesus simply and directly. There was a collection of Jesus' chief teachings and discourses, perhaps there were several such collections.
