The first four books of the New Testament-Matthew, Mark, Luke and John-form the core of Christianity in much the same way as the first five books of the Old Testament-Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy-form the core of Judaism. The books of Matthew, Mark and Luke are known as the synoptic gospels because they are so alike. They tell mostly the same stories in similar wording and chronology. By contrast, over 90% of the material in John is unique, and John is sometimes referred to as the spiritual gospel. The Gospel of Thomas is also included here because it contains valuable sayings of Jesus that echo and expand upon the teachings in the other gospels. It deserves to have been included in the New Testament, but was not known until 1945, when it was unearthed as part of the discovery near Nag Hammadi, Egypt, of thirteen leather-bound codices, containing 52 early Christian treatises, mostly gnostic. I have also included The Book of Revelation because it purports to contain words of Jesus heard in a vision, and has become a key text in Christian literature. The Five Gospels is excerpted from a larger work-in-progress, The Holy Bible: King James Reader's Version (KJRV), which I hope to complete and publish in 2022. In the meantime, I have also published three other works excerpted from the KJRV: The Torah, The Book of Psalms, and Poetry and Wisdom of the Old Testament. The KJRV is formatted like an epic poem, which it is, with the verse numbers in a separate column so as to not be in the way while reading. My purpose in creating the KJRV is to provide the clearest, most faithful, most accurate, and hopefully most poetic version of the Bible possible. It is my intention that it speak directly to the reader, and provide a clear understanding of what's being said, without the need for "expert" commentary or agenda-driven interpretations. I do not take on this task as a Christian "believer," though I greatly admire Jesus of Nazareth. I see the Bible as an incredible collection of ancient religious literature, that has had an incalculable influence on western culture, and on world history. No education is complete without knowing what's in the Bible. But reading it can be tough going, particularly the King James Version (KJV), which is pretty much the gold standard of Bible versions. Other versions that are easier to read and understand have been created, but in the process a certain magic and mystique present in the KJV has been lost. In the KJRV I have tried to create a version with the best of both worlds-an easily understood version that retains the poetry and magic of the KJV. I hope you find it valuable.

Did Jesus claim to be the Messiah? Did he promise to return and usher in a new age? How did Jesus envision the Kingdom of God? The Five Gospels answers these questions in a bold, dynamic work that will startle traditional readers of the Bible and rekindle interest in it among secular skeptics. In 1985 the Jesus Seminar, comprising a distinguished group of biblical scholars, was founded by Robert W. Funk. They embarked on a new translation and assessment of the gospels, including the recently discovered Gospel of Thomas. In pursuit of the historical Jesus, they used their collective expertise to determine the authenticity of more than fifteen hundred sayings attributed to him. Their remarkable findings appear in this book.

From the editors of the bestselling The Five Gospels, The Complete Gospels presents for the first time anywhere all twenty of the known gospels from the early Christian era, offering a fuller and more fascinating picture of early Christian origins than found in the four canonical gospels alone -- or in any other source. Each of these gospels records offers fresh glimpses into the world of Jesus and his followers, including: Gospel of Thomas reveals that Jesus, contrary to the popular image of him as an apocalyptic preacher of damnation and salvation, was actually a wisdom teacher who taught about the true origins of humankind. Gospels of Mary suggests that women held prominent role in early church, and provides a startling look at what may have been the first attempts to supress their leadership. Sayings Gospels Q, the controversial reconstruction of the first gospel used by Jesus' original followers, contains only Jesus' sayings and none of the dramatic stories about his life later told in the New Testament gospels. Signs Gospel is almost entirely a catalog of Jesus' miracles, intended to demonstrate that he was the Jewish Messiah, the Anointed. Secret Book of James relates that immediately prior to his ascension, Jesus imparted a private revelation to James and Peter, which James presents here as a letter. Gospel of Peter contains what may have been the original passion narrative later adapted in the New Testament synoptic gospels' accounts. Four new pieces have been added to this third expanded edition: the three Jewish-Christian gospels and the Greek fragment of the Gospels of Thomas. Each gospel is translated into lively, contemporary English, recapturing the spirit of the original. Exciting both to read and to hear, this Scholars Version (SV) translation has -- as one reader put it -- "a vitality that jumps off the page." The editor and contributors to this volume are members of the Jesus Seminar founded by Robert W. Funk, based at the Westar Institute in Sonama, California.
