I’m new to all this and am fascinated by the different voices and the influencing “hands” on these voices.

It made me think that there is even more to it than just different eyewitness reports, though that is part of it. For Christianity, Scripture has two authors: God and the inspired human author. God intends to communicate through Scripture some aspect of truth necessary for salvation. The human author is communicating a particular truth to a particular audience in a particular place at a particular time. This authorship and these truths are unitary in a sense.

Of course, Scripture does not just have authors but hearers and readers. That seems part of the point of your book: helping people to hear the Gospels directly. In line with that, I think that a hearer/reader benefits from reading the different Gospel accounts.
