Are the four canonical Gospels actual historical accounts or are they imaginative literature produced by influential literary artists to serve a theological vision? In this study of the Gospels based upon a demonstrable literary theory, Randel Helms presents the work of the four evangelists as the supreme fictions of our culture, self-conscious works of art deliberately composed as the culmination of a long literary and oral tradition.
