Proper Name for the Four Gospels?

Question

What is the proper term for calling the four New Testament Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? Like how we say "Pentateuch" for the first five Old Testament books - what is the "____" we say to describe the four Gospels? Thanks.

Answer 1

They are simply "the Gospels".

Matthew, Mark and Luke are known as the "Synoptic Gospels" because they have so much in common, including stories and passages that parallel each other very closely. "Synoptic" literally means "with the same eye".

Johannine (to refer back to an earlier response) simply means "to do with John", just as Matthean, Markan and Lukan are to do with Matthew, Mark and Luke, respectively.

Answer 2

That is how they are referred to "the four Gospels"

However "Diatessaron" is mentioned in these couple of paragraphs:

***************
A very precious, unique exhibit in the library is a commentary by a fourth-century Syrian writer, Ephraem, on the Diatessaron by Tatian. About 170 C.E., Tatian compiled a harmonized account of the life and ministry of Jesus, using extracts from the four Gospels (Diatessaron means “through [the] four”). Because no copies survived, some critics in the last century disputed whether such a harmony of the Gospels ever existed. These critics contended that the four Gospels themselves were not written till the middle of the second century.

In the last hundred years, however, the discovery of translations of the Diatessaron in Armenian and Arabic forced the higher critics to retreat. Then, in 1956, Sir Chester Beatty obtained this unique fifth/sixth century commentary that contains long extracts from Tatian’s original work. “It certainly scotched the notion that the four Gospels were not in circulation in that era,” said Mr. Lockwood.

“The Word of God” Exhibition was a reminder of the abundance of material available to Bible scholars and textual critics. Let one of these scholars, Sir Frederic Kenyon, explain the significance of all these Biblical manuscripts that have been discovered and at the same time answer the questions raised at the beginning:

“It may be disturbing to some to part with the conception of a Bible handed down through the ages without alteration . . . It is reassuring in the end to find that the general result of all these discoveries and all this study is to strengthen the proof of the authenticity of the Scriptures, and our conviction that we have in our hands, in substantial integrity, the veritable Word of God.” (The Story of the Bible, page 113)—Psalm 119:105; 1 Peter 1:25.
