The design is inspired by the Lindisfarne Gospels, a manuscript illuminated with wonderful and intricate detail by the monks of the Holy Isle in the seventh century.
The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels as an excellent place to start.
From there the Gospels paint a colorful picture of Peter as an eager and energetic figure who had both notable successes and failures in his journey with Jesus.

Gospels and Acts in modern Latvian is the first harvest of an ongoing translation project which began in 1995 when it became clear that the Revised edition of the 1965 Latvian Bible was not meeting the needs of Latvians.

Gospels are not meant to be histories - they were not written as a "Life and Times of Jesus Christ", but rather to convince people that Christ was both the promised Messiah of the Hebrew scriptures, and, more importantly, the very Son of God.
Priority is given to the four Gospels that record the traditions about Jesus' life and teachings and Jesus' insistence on the centrality of love when he summed up the Law and all morality in the commandments to love God and love your neighbor as yourself.
This is significant that this is the only time in all the gospels in which Jesus is mentioned in baptizing with his disciples, immediately after telling Nicodemus that we must be born of water and Spirit.
