From the second century onward, Christians have embraced the four Gospels attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Yet a fourfold Gospel is counterintuitive. From the early church to the present, many people have asked: "Why are there four Gospels rather than one?" In this talk, New Testament and patristics scholar Jeremiah Coogan will explore how early Christians came to think of four separate Gospels as "the Gospel." He will examine how early Christians contemplated the profound ways that God has ordered the world by his Word, and how we today can more fully appreciate the importance of reading Scripture with a Christian theological imagination.

Through keynote addresses, breakout sessions, and lively conversations, participants will be encouraged and equipped to rejoice in the gospel through the work of catechesis.
