How many books are there among the four Gospels?

The question tests knowledge of how many distinct Gospel accounts are in the Bible. There are four canonical Gospels in the New Testament—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—each presenting Jesus’ life and ministry from a unique perspective. They are considered separate books, not repetitions of one another, which is why the total number is four. While there are other early writings about Jesus, they are not counted among the canonical four. So the four Gospels amount to four books.
