Which group contains four books in the New Testament that recount Jesus' life and teachings?

• A. Acts
• B. Epistles
• C. Revelation
• D. Gospels

Answer: (D)

Four books in the New Testament tell about Jesus' life and his teachings, and these are the Gospels. They are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each gospel gives a view of Jesus—his public ministry, the messages he taught in parables and sermons, the miracles he performed, and the events of his death and resurrection—often with slightly different details or emphases, but all centered on who Jesus was and what he taught. The other sections do different things: Acts describes how Jesus' followers spread the message after his ascension; Epistles are letters written to Christian communities explaining beliefs and how to live; Revelation is an apocalyptic vision about the end times and God's ultimate victory. Because the question is asking for the group that contains four books recounting Jesus' life and teachings, the answer is the Gospels.
