The Gospels are good news about Jesus, and the role that He plays in this grand scheme of salvation. So, the Gospels bear some similarities to Graeco-Roman lives—their design is very precise. Normally, biographies are concerned with many things about a person, but the Gospels leave most of those to one side to concentrate on Jesus’ role in the grand scheme of redemption. That is why the Gospel writers give so much space to the Passion Narratives—the last week of Jesus’ life and His resurrection.
