The Gospel of Luke tells of the origins,birth,ministry,death,resurrection,and ascension of Jesus. Together with the Acts of the Apostles,it makes up a two-volume work which scholars call Luke–Acts,accounting for 27.5% of the New Testament. The combined work divides the history of first-century Christianity into three stages,with the gospel making up the first two of these –the life of Jesus the Messiah from his birth to the beginning of his mission in the meeting with John the Baptist,followed by his ministry with events such as the Sermon on the Plain and its Beatitudes,and his Passion,death,and resurrection.
The New Testament (NT) is the second division of the Christian biblical canon. It discusses the teachings and person of Jesus,as well as events relating to first-century Christianity. The New Testament's background,the first division of the Christian Bible,is called the Old Testament,which is based primarily upon the Hebrew Bible;together they are regarded as Sacred Scripture by Christians.
The nativity or birth of JesusChrist is documented in the biblical gospels of Luke and Matthew. The two accounts agree that Jesus was born in Bethlehem,in Roman-controlled Judea,that his mother,Mary,was engaged to a man named Joseph,who was descended from King David and was not his biological father,and that his birth was caused by divine intervention. Some scholars do not see the two canonical gospel nativity stories as historically factual since they present clashing accounts and irreconcilable genealogies. The secular history of the time does not synchronize with the narratives of the birth and early childhood of Jesus in the two gospels. Some view the question of historicity as secondary,given that gospels were primarily written as theological documents rather than chronological timelines.
Pauline Christianity or Pauline theology,otherwise referred to as Gentile Christianity,is the theology and form of Christianity which developed from the beliefs and doctrines espoused by the Hellenistic-Jewish Apostle Paul through his writings and those New Testament writings traditionally attributed to him. Paul's beliefs were rooted in the earliest Jewish Christianity,but they deviated from this Jewish Christianity in their emphasis on inclusion of the Gentiles into God's New Covenant and in his rejection of circumcision as an unnecessary token of upholding the Mosaic Law.
The Gospel of the Saviour is a fragmentary Coptic text from an otherwise unknown gospel that has joined the New Testament apocrypha. It consists of a fragmentary fire-damaged parchment codex that was acquired by the Egyptian Museum of Berlin in 1961.

The Gospel of Marcion,called by its adherents the Gospel of the Lord,or more commonly the Gospel,was a text used by the mid-2nd-century Christian teacher Marcion of Sinope to the exclusion of the other gospels.

The Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles make up a two-volume work which scholars call Luke–Acts. The author is not named in either volume. According to a Church tradition,first attested by Irenaeus,he was the Luke named as a companion of Paul in three of the Pauline letters,but "a critical consensus emphasizes the countless contradictions between the account in Acts and the authentic Pauline letters." The eclipse of the traditional attribution to Luke the companion of Paul has meant that an early date for the gospel is now rarely put forward. Most scholars date the composition of the combined work to around 80–90 AD,although some others suggest 90–110,and there is textual evidence that Luke–Acts was still being substantially revised well into the 2nd century.
The Jerusalem School Hypothesis is one of many possible solutions to the synoptic problem,that the Gospel of Luke and the Gospel of Matthew both relied on older texts which are now lost. It was developed by Robert Lindsey,from the Jerusalem School of Synoptic Research.
