The Gospels
Four accounts, written decades after the events, of the life and teaching of Jesus of Nazareth: birth, baptism, the years of healing and parable in Galilee, and the confrontation in Jerusalem. Three tell much the same story in much the same order; the fourth reworks it into long discourses about who he is. The West's central dying-and-rising story.
