Why Four Gospels?

Arthur W Pink

Arthur Walkington Pink (1886-1952) was an itinerate pastor and Bible teacher who is known today for his theological and expository writings, which have gained greatly in circulation and esteem since his death. He was born in Scotland, but after 1910 he lived in the United States, studying briefly at the Moody Bible Institute and serving in several different pastorates. He spent three years in Australia during the 1920's, another year in England (1928), and seven more years in America, during which he preached and wrote without achieving obvious popular success. Most of his works were published as articles in the Bible exposition magazine Studies in the Scriptures, which he edited. He recognized the failures of his personal ministry, but also felt God's certain blessing upon his written ministry. He returned to Scotland in 1934, where he lived the rest of his life in virtual isolation.

A short survey of the New Testament Gospels.

This treatise was written in 1921, a simple and straightforward discussion of the four New Testament Gospels. Each book is treated in turn – its characteristics, unique features, and possible contradictions – with the author’s clearly stated aim: “We are fully assured that there is very much in the four Gospels which manifest the Divine perfections and distinctive beauties of each one, which has not yet been brought forth by those who have sought to explore their inexhaustible depths.”
