Talk:List of gospels

Marcion

The Gospel of Marcion page says that the document has been largely reconstructed, so shouldnt it be in that section? Fig (talk) 19:08, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Edited the supplementary text for Marcion to include both possibilities that Marcion was a rework of Luke or that Luke was a rework of Marcion. This is not academically settled.

No need for "Modern Gospels"!

except the Gospel of Barnabas (16th century).

There must be another article for the "Modern Gospels"... Böri (talk) 17:05, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Why shouldn't all gospels, modern, ancient, canonical or heterodox, be placed within this page? If they should not be placed here, then where should all gospels be listed? Quite a bit of work has now apparently been discarded by those who do not favour certain criteria for inclusion . It would be helpful if a standard was stated on this page if it is to be exercised, and an inclusive list established if it will not be this one. Thank you.-- self-ref (nagasiva yronwode) (talk) 00:39, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Freer Logion

Someone should find a suitable place to put the Freer Logion or just remove it. It is out of place where it is currently. It was originally under the Mark Gospel but someone moved it.

Reverted to neutral wording in the introduction as used till 18:52, 22 August 2012: "The development of the New Testament canon has left four canonical Gospels which are accepted as the only authentic ones by the great majority of Christians"; instead of"which are accepted as the only authentic and apostolic gospels by the Christians," Sternenkrieger21 (talk) 13:29, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Weight

There is too much weight given to the non-canonical Gospels. No mention is made as to why they were chosen when the canon was closed (they were all agreed upon and in wide circulation, and had apostolic authority) while the others were not. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:10, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

I added hatnotes to the "Canonical Gospels" section to articles on New Testament and canonical gospels - these are also linked in the lead, but MOS:DUPLINK allows for duplicate links in lists - I hope this at least partly addresses your concern - cheers - Epinoia (talk) 17:56, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Moden Gospels: Criteria for inclusion

I proposed in hidden text for the section Modern Gospels that it should only list:

• Gospels for which an article exists
• Gospels with a citable reference that they are at least partially notable.

In doing this, I removed a half-dozen red links that were unexplained entirely, or vanity publications, cults, and an obvious troll. SchmuckyTheCat (talk) 03:12, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

John is not synoptic

This edit grouped the Gospel of John with the synoptic Gospels, but this is untrue.

I have made a correction.

Perhaps worth checking the other changes made by this IP. Andrewa (talk) 13:57, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Apocalypse of Peter

This is not a canon gospel, and Luke should not be under it. 2601:2C5:C380:89A0:C5FC:F675:68D8:BC31 (talk) 01:51, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Citations

Many of the notes here could be turned into inline citations. I can certainly take a swing at it, but I am not a scholar in this area and it is likely that I will make errors. Please help with adding citations to known translations and extant primary sources (if they exist). Or you can edit mine when I clearly mixed up the Gnostics, Greeks, and Ascetic versions of various similarly named Gospels. OrangeDJ (talk) 20:52, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
