Assignment by Jessica

What kind of book are the Gospels of the New Testament? 
Fairy tales? Religious novels? Ancient biographies? 
I think that the gospels are somewhat between ancient biographies and religious novels, because it concerns much about Jesus' birth to crucifixion and his teachings. The gospels are written by the four main disciples of Jesus telling about Jesus' and all the things that he has done to be the Messiah, Jewish King.
Some of the gospels focuses more to the life of Jesus and his teachings, but some of them focuses more on Jesus' teachings' meanings and the meaning of him being crucified to save us from the sins. 
So, concluding this, for me the gospels are mixed literature of religious novels and ancient biographies.
