The four Evangelists

Bible (the Book) includes two parts: the Old Testament and the New Testament.
The "binding" of the Book is constituted by the books of the prophets announcing the coming of the Messiah. All the books of the Bible (Holy Scriptures) are inspired by God.


The Old Testament includes 45 books written before the birth of Jesus.
The New Testamentl includes 27 books written after the resurrection of Jesus.

The texts of the Bible often have several senses: a literal or historical sense (the facts), a moral sense (manner of acting) and a mystic sense, concerning Christ, Church and faith.

The Old Testament includes the Law (Torah), the prophets and the writings of wisdom, Psalms particularly. It announces by words, facts or examples the coming and the life of Jesus-Christ.

The New Testament (written between 40 and 100) includes Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, Apostles' letters (Paul, John, Peter, James and Jude), Letter in the Hebrew and Revelation.

Four Gospels contain the words of Jesus and the facts concerning his life, his death and his resurrection:


Matthew is an eyewitness. He wrote in hebrew, when Peter and Paul were in Rome.


 - Mark puts in writing, in a concise style, the teaching of Peter, the chief of the apostles.


 - Luke is the companion of Paul. He wrote in Greek, after inquiry with witnesses and with Mary.
 

- John wrote in Ephese, in current Turkey. He was the disciple whom Jesus loved.


The Tradition of the apostles reached us by the continuous succession of the bishops who succeed to them since the death and the resurrection of Jesus, in April 30.


Bible is not a compilation of antique narratives. Bible is God's Word.


Christians venerate the Old Testament as the true word of God. All of the books of the Old Testament are divinely inspired and retain a permanent value. They bear witness to the divine pedagogy of God's saving love. They are written, above all, to prepare for the coming of Christ the Savior of the universe.

The New Testament, whose central object is Jesus Christ, conveys to us the ultimate truth of divine Revelation. Within the New Testament the four Gospels of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John are the heart of all the Scriptures because they are the principle witness to the life and teaching of Jesus. As such, they hold a unique place in the Church.


Apostolic Tradition is the transmission of the message of Christ, brought about from the very beginnings of Christianity by means of preaching, bearing witness, institutions, worship, and inspired writings. The apostles transmitted all they received from Christ and learned from the Holy Spirit to their successors, the bishops, and through them to all generations until the end of the world.

Apostolic Tradition occurs in two ways: through the living transmission of the word of God (also simply called Tradition) and through Sacred Scripture which is the same proclamation of salvation in written form.

Tradition and Sacred Scripture are bound closely together and communicate one with the other. Each of them makes present and fruitful in the Church the mystery of Christ. They flow out of the same divine well-spring and together make up one sacred deposit of faith from which the Church derives her certainty about revelation.

The Apostles entrusted the deposit of faith to the whole of the Church. Thanks to its supernatural sense of faith the people of God as a whole, assisted by the Holy Spirit and guided by the Magisterium of the Church, never ceases to welcome, to penetrate more deeply and to live more fully from the gift of divine revelation.

Scripture, Tradition, and the Magisterium are so closely united with each other that one of them cannot stand without the others. Working together, each in its own way, under the action of the one Holy Spirit, they all contribute effectively to the salvation of souls.

Sacred Scripture teachs the truth because God himself is the author of Sacred Scripture. For this reason it is said to be inspired and to teach without error those truths which are necessary for our salvation. The Holy Spirit inspired the human authors who wrote what he wanted to teach us. The Christian faith, however, is not a “religion of the Book”, but of the Word of God - “not a written and mute word, but incarnate and living” (Saint Bernard of Clairvaux).

Sacred Scripture must be read and interpreted with the help of the Holy Spirit and under the guidance of the Magisterium of the Church according to three criteria: 1) it must be read with attention to the content and unity of the whole of Scripture; 2) it must be read within the living Tradition of the Church; 3) it must be read with attention to the analogy of faith, that is, the inner harmony which exists among the truths of the faith themselves.            

Scripture is one insofar as the Word of God is one. God's plan of salvation is one, and the divine inspiration of both Testaments is one. The Old Testament prepares for the New and the New Testament fulfills the Old; the two shed light on each other.

Sacred Scripture gives support and vigor to the life of the Church. For the children of the Church, it is a confirmation of the faith, food for the soul and the fount of the spiritual life.

Believers have to announce everywhere and always this book of Life, "for the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And before him no creature is hidden, but all are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do" (Hebrews 4, 12-13).


Christians are confident, because Jesus says : "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away" (Matthew 24, 35). In the year 50, Paul already exlaims : "Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel !" (1 Corinthians 9,16).
