	Four Symbolism
		One significant representation of four symbology is in the representation of the four evangelists of the four winged beasts in the vision of Ezekiel, later reconstitutes in the New Testament as the four beasts of the apocalypse in the Book of Revelations.
		In the card are included symbolism of the four Evangelists, the four seasons and the four elements (represented by the symbols for the four fixed signs of the zodiac), the Hebrew letters in the name of God (Yahweh: YHVH), and the four grail symbols (the letters T, A, R, and O).
		John is the only one of the four Evangelists to record the Saviour’s triumphant cry, "It is finished", and he is the only one to say that after He had expired the soldier’s "brake not His legs" ("And they crucified quick").

	Saints in Art: Chapter II: The Evangelists
		Their earliest symbols, the four scrolls or books, emblematic of the Gospels, or the four rivers of Salvation flowing from Paradise, are seen in the Catacombs and on the walls of the oldest existing churches, or on relics hoary with age, as the earliest Christian sarcophagi and tombs.
		As late as the sixteenth century the Evangelists were expressed by these emblems in both pictures and statues, an example still existing in the symbolic bronzes in the choir of the Church of Saint Antonio, at Padua, which are very unusual and interesting.
		In very ancient representations of this evangelist he appeared as an aged man; gradually, however, he was pictured as young, beardless, with flowing hair, and a face expressive of absorbing and even ecstatic inspiration.

	Evangelism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word evangelist comes from the Koine Greek word ευαγγελιον (transcribed as "euangelion") via Latin "Evangelium", as used in the canonic titles of the four Gospels, and thus The Evangelists are the authors of the four Gospels -- traditionally known as Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (also known as the Four Evangelists).
		The evangelist is one that travels from town to town and from church to church, spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ.
		In common parlance, the title of evangelist is most easily associated with those who lead large meetings like those of Billy Graham, possibly in tents or existing church buildings, or those who address the public in street corner preaching, which targets listeners who happen to pass nearby on the street.

		Proceeding further, to inquire whether the facts related by the Four Evangelists are proved by competent and satisfactory evidence, we are led, first, to consider on which side lies the burden of establishing the credibility of the witnesses.
		The title of the evangelists to full credit for veracity would be readily conceded by the objector, if the facts they relate were such as ordinarily occur in human experience, and on this circumstance an argument is founded against their credibility.

	09-THE FOUR GOSPELS
		The four gospels were written independently of each other, and in the early days one church might use one of them, another church another -- whichever they had access to in those times when writings were not common and printing had not been invented.
		The churches of the first century gradually decided on four of the gospels as being most acceptable, and began somewhat to ignore the others.
		For some reason the four evangelists have been accorded the emblems of the four creatures in Revelation, and in Ezekiel's vision: the Man stands for St. Matthew; the Lion for St. Mark; the Ox for St. Luke; and the Eagle for St. John.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Evangelist
		The Apostles, indeed, were evangelists, inasmuch as they preached the Gospel (Acts 8:25; 14:20; 1 Corinthians 1:17); Philip likewise was both a deacon (Acts 6:5) and an evangelist (Acts 8:4-5; 8:40; 21:8); in like manner was St. Timothy exhorted by St. Paul to do the work of an evangelist (2 Timothy 4:5).
		From the various statements contained in the New Testament, we may gather with some probability that evangelists were travelling missionaries, occasionally solemnly set apart, as seems to have been the case with Sts.
		Christian artists followed in the footsteps of the ecclesiastical writers, and made use, in different manners, of the four traditional figures to represent the Evangelists.

	Why Four Gospels? \| Christian Classics Ethereal Library
		That we have four Gospels which treat of the earthly ministry of Christ is universally accepted, but as to why we have them, as to what they are severally designed to teach, as to their peculiar characteristics, as to their distinctive beauties—these are little discerned and even less appreciated.
		It is true that each of the four Gospels has much in common to all: each of them deals with the same period of history, each sets forth the teaching and miracles of the Saviour, each describes His death and resurrection.
		But while the four Evangelists have much in common, each has much that is peculiar to himself, and it is in noting their variations that we are brought to see their true meaning and scope and to appreciate their perfections.

	Byzant Astrology - Scorpio, the Eagle
		Christian tradition links the four Evangelists (the attributed authors of the canonical Gospels) with four symbols: Matthew with a Man or Cherub, Mark with a Lion, Luke with a Bull and John with an Eagle.
		Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a man, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle.
		The four Evangelist symbols are, of course, associated with the four elements, but not always consistently.

	Edge: THE PATTERN OF LIFE'S HISTORY
		I suppose it's a good idea to put some plaster there — otherwise the rainwater is going to come in — but the fact that they're tapering triangular spaces is a side consequence of the adaptive decision to mount the dome on four arches.
		Under the main dome, for example, there are four evangelists in the spandrels.
		Under each of the four evangelists is one of the four biblical rivers — the Tigris, the Euphrates, the Nile, and the Indus — and they are personified as a man, and the man holds an amphora, a water jar, and he pours water onto a single flower in the tapering triangular space below.

	Who Really Wrote the Gospels, and Why Should We Care?
		According to Catholic tradition, the four Gospels were written by four individuals called the four Evangelists.
		Many scholars today, however, argue that the original authors were "anonymous," and that the names of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were only later connected with these four books.
		This workshop will explain why it is important for all Christian teachers and students to know how, when, for whom, and by whom the Gospels were written.

	Arthur W. Pink - Why Four Gospels? - Introduction
		That we have four Gospels which treat of the earthly ministry of Christ is universally accepted, but as to why we have them, as to what they are severally designed to teach, as to their peculiar characteristics, as to their distinctive beauties--these are little discerned and even less appreciated.
		In Gen. 2:10 we read "And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads." Note carefully the words "from thence." In Eden itself "the river" was one, but "from thence" it "was parted"and became into four heads.
		Incidentally we may observe how this description of the four cherubim in Rev. 4:7 authenticates the arrangement of the four Gospels as we have them in our Bibles, evidencing the fact that their present order is of Divine arrangement as Rev. 4:7 confirms!
