What are the first 4 books of the New Testament called?

Gospel originally meant the Christian message, but in the 2nd century it came to be used also for the books in which the message was set out; in this sense, it includes both the four canonical gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and various apocryphal gospels dating from the 2nd century and later.

The four canonical gospels were probably written between AD 66 and 110. The New Testament contains twenty-seven books, written in Greek, by fifteen or sixteen different authors between 50 CE and 120 CE. The writings are of four types: Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, epistles, and apocalypse.

The New Testament contains four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These books tell stories about Jesus’ life, ministry, and death. The Gospels were written anonymously and came to be ascribed to disciples (Matthew and John) and associates of the apostles (Mark and Luke) sometime in the second century.
