Historical reliability of the Gospels--Internal criterion #4.

4.) Is the document reasonably self-consistent? There is a coherence to truth which fabrications usually lack, though different
perspectives on a single historical account usually include some minor
discrepancies.

The Gospels present a consistent portrait of who Jesus is and what He did, as well as of the events which surrounded His life. If the four accounts were individually fabricated, where did this consistency come from? But there are also significant differences of their perspectives. If they were all fabricated together, the consistency would be greater than we find. The internal evidence of self-consistency is a powerful testimony to the authenticity of the Gospels as historical documents.
