For Whom were the Gospels Written?
|
The Gospels for All Christians (New Testament Studies) , Richard Bauckham, Eerdmans, 1997, page 30 The early Christian movement was not a scattering of isolated, self-sufficient communities with little or no communication between them, but quite the opposite: a network of communities with constant, close communication among themselves. In other words, the social character of early Christianity was such that the idea of writing a Gospel purely for one's own community is unlikely to have occured to anyone.
