Discussing New Testament Revelation and the Gospels, this is the eighth in a series of lectures on the Catholic Catechism recorded in 1965 by Archbishop Fulton J Sheen in the privacy of his own study. A master communicator, Fulton Sheen recorded this insightful overview of the teaching of the Holy Catholic Church.
The centrality of Christ in history is revealed in the New Testament. The Church did not come out of the Bible but began with oral preaching. Our Lord did not write because he was not an author but an authority. The Church existed before the Gospels and in fact composed the Gospels. There are four Gospels because each was addressed to a different audience.
